WAMETISÉ: FURNITURE

The Pyrocene, the era of fire driven by human activity and climate change, has placed the Amazon in a critical situation. The FIRM's hotspots revealed by the satellite image are part of the threat to its existence as the largest tropical forest in the world and an essential regulator of the global climate. New fires, intensified by deforestation and prolonged droughts, are transforming large areas of forest into degraded areas, releasing enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. This dynamic not only amplifies climate change but endangers the balance of the water cycle and biodiversity that sustain life in the region and beyond. In the closed spiral of relationships that the forest is, the ties are fragile, and the beings that inhabit it suffer from increasing and abrasive human activities such as logging, intensive agriculture, and indiscriminate burning of land.

The materiality of the proposal integrates elements that dialogue with the concept of Amazofuturism, adapting them to the needs and processes of the fair, but in close dialogue with other complexities of the ecological crises. Seeking to minimize the environmental impact, circular solutions and assembly systems that allow the disassembly and reuse of the construction elements have been prioritized.
