Abrume : Sur les traces des cabanes libres
Auteur(s) : Gauthier Delvert, Raphaël Guillemette
"Abrume: a cabin that appears through thick fog after a day of walking, when your stomach is rumbling, your legs are heavy and your clothes are soaked. Thin smoke rises behind a bank, the smell of wood smoke slowly spreads through the air, and the shelter gradually takes shape. This is the name chosen by two young architects, Raphaël Guillemette and Gauthier Delvert, to better protect free cabins.
Lost in the forests of Champagne, isolated on the Vercors plateau, clinging to a mountain in the Pyrenees, camouflaged in the valleys of Occitanie, these cabins and shelters punctuate our landscapes. They offer countless possibilities for rethinking the way we explore and inhabit the world, build and live together.
After spending more than a year and a half tracing these wild huts, open to everyone all year round, known as fustes in the Vosges, bories in Provence, burons in the Massif Central, and chalets in the Alps, the authors of this book pay tribute to this fragile and little-known heritage that forms a world on the edge of civilisation, where the boundaries of the land registry have been erased by time.
