Inhabiting the Amazon: Casa De La Selva

This project was created in collaboration with a community member from San Roque, Peru, as part of an ongoing dialogue about what it means to live in relationship with the Amazon jungle. The design of the home is his; my role was to create renderings that explore the experience of inhabiting a dwelling shaped by the land itself. Rather than architecture imposed from outside, the house emerges in conversation with the forest, a breathing, living environment that responds to those who move within it. This work is part of my broader investigation into decolonization and landscape architecture, where dwelling is rooted in reciprocity, community, and the rhythms of nature.
