This project aims to create a captivating narrative about a dwelling that is spread across the forest floor of the Amazon Rainforest, enriching the story with detailed plans, and sections. The narrative revolves around how five members of the Virendi tribe who survived a fierce forest fire forage for a new dwelling. Their dwelling, ever-changing and evolving, was a testament to their resilience, a bond with nature, and a reminder that life in the Amazon rainforest was a delicate and beautiful dance between survival and the enchantment of the wild. The dwelling draws its inspiration from the leaf cutter bee, becoming a series of pathways and chambers. Initially, there were different skill-building exercises to re-imagine the spaces and the memories attached to the spaces, creating non linear narratives with oneiric character about the same.
