AYURU is a species of bird in Tupi-Guarani. The principle of arriving and landing in a territory of ecological relationships in a light and gentle way.
Built entirely with a bamboo structure (Guadua Angustifolia species) organized into 16 pilar mande out of 11m long poles and transverse tie beams, the structural system is inspired by the recurring typology of ancestral indigenous architects. In the center of the structure, a metal ring receives all the forces distributed by the radial geometry and offers an opening for natural light and ventilation. The roof of the AYURU space is made of ceramic tiles glazed in high-temperature kilns, where after numerus tests we found the final tone we were looking for. The one that transforms, changes, surprises depending on the intensity and tone of the natural light and projection of shadows. For the design of this roof, we were inspired by the wings of birds, where the color in some Brazilian species is sometimes green or blue and sometimes even multiple colors simultaneously.
The symmetry of the interior space is organized around a central area made out of soil-cement floor made from local clay and an eucalyptus decking area from the Cunha region. Therefore, together with the bamboo that comes from the Mambucaba region, always in the bay of Ilha Grande, almost all of the structural materials in the work are local.
With a height of 8m and an external diameter of 16m, the Ayuru space offers a flexible area for different uses in events and practices, thanks to an additional service equipment and a technical area. Externally, on the East and West sides we have two outdoor areas, extending in a such way the possible program of uses. Stone paths articulates accesses to the entire complex which includes parking, a bathroom area, storage and support kitchen.
Ayuru is a Time of the Forest created for Aldeia Rizoma, integrated into the project of ecological accommodations and experiences of well-being programs and immersive events in Nature.
