Description

Abri operates as a contextual form of protection, offering a temporary refuge from exposure, pressure, or instability. It represents a boundary that shields the interior from external forces, creating a pocket of safety within a larger, more volatile environment. Abri highlights the relational dynamic between vulnerability and shelter, showing how systems rely on protected spaces to recover, regroup, or wait out adverse conditions. As a contextual construct, abri embodies the principle of pause, allowing continuity to be preserved through moments of retreat.
