"As technology accelerates and daily life becomes increasingly disconnected from the natural environment, the Amazon Immersion Pavilion offers a quiet counterpoint grounded in presence, atmosphere, and ecological respect. Conceived as a conceptual project for Iquitos, Peru, the pavilion proposes a gentle architectural intervention that allows visitors to experience the rainforest through sound, texture, light, and movement. It approaches the Amazon as a living partner rather than a backdrop, inviting visitors to rediscover a relationship with nature through deliberate sensory engagement."
"The project began with a desire to create deeper dialogue between humans and the forest. The Amazon provides constant motion and sound, and the design team wanted a structure that would reveal these qualities rather than compete with them. The result is an organically composed pavilion shaped by biomimicry, sustainable material thinking, and an understanding of local ecosystems. Bamboo was selected as the primary material because it is strong, flexible, and deeply rooted in regional construction traditions."
An immersive pavilion for Iquitos, Peru, prioritizes presence, atmosphere, and ecological respect to reconnect visitors with the rainforest through deliberate sensory engagement. The design treats the Amazon as a living partner, using biomimicry, environmental intelligence, and responsive form and materiality to listen and adapt to landscape rhythms. Bamboo serves as the primary structural material for its strength, flexibility, and local tradition, supporting a low-impact approach. The pavilion unfolds across two levels; the first floor creates a calm, introspective circular base (31,500 mm diameter) with an overhead opening for soft natural light and gently flowing water along walls that produces a rhythmic soundscape.
