Directory of Architecture Designs, Contemporary Houses, and Modern Buildings
As a part of the World Cultural Forum in São Paulo in 2004, the “Oca” was developed as a temporary pavilion for the event “Resistance and Tradition”, performing the center of discussion about Brazil’s indigenous culture. Oca sheltered many ceremonies and meetings of representatives from the country’s various native communities.
The project references typical elements of the native architecture, such as the zenithal illumination and the high level of transparency of the building. However, it does so in a respectful manner without intending to be a mere literal reproduction of said architecture, through the use of contemporary elements such as galvanized steel boards.
