The jury recognises Juvo for the precision with which a modest infrastructural element becomes a landscape instrument. The guardrail provides safety and acts on perception as it traces the terrain and movement through the gorge. It turns a technical artefact into an abstract, calligraphic register of topography. By opening the historic railing and extending it into the landscape, the project reactivates the relationship between road, geology, water and craftsmanship. Its strength lies in this restraint and a sense of deliberate incompleteness: it allows visitors to enter the intensity of the gorge without dominating it.
