Community hotel

My graduation proposal was a project targeting a community in the middle of the sector of Pantanal, belonging to Mato Grosso area in Brazil.
The objective was to give birth to cultural-tourism in the area. Of course the natural beauty and traditions should be exhibited while enriched with some modern commodities, but on the other hand special respect should be payed to the protection of the environment and, most important, of the traditional lifestyle of the inhabitants. It's the very same people who will be materializing all new constructions, according to their techniques, always inspired by the local architecture.
