Description of the project

Laurent Troost Architectures, Tropical Shed – Located in a famous industrial district of the city of Manaus, characterized by row houses and warehouses of all kinds, this project of an archeology office together with a leisure area is a reinterpretation of the industrial typology to create a manifesto of the necessary rapprochement between Urban and Nature, especially within the capital of the TROPICAL Amazon. The reinterpretation of the industrial typology was achieved by a sequence of three-dimensional entrances, made of smooth rebars, serving as guides for the growth of several species of vines that, when growing rapidly, define a double-height space, a “shed”, and, at the same time, shade the leisure area and the office, creating a tropical, airy and refreshing microclimate.
