Centro Cultural Flutuante Karuara: difusão cultural e preservação da identidade indígena Kambeba por meio da arquitetura

Abstract

The proposal for this final undergraduate project is the development of a cultural center focused on the cultural appreciation and identity strengthening of the Kambeba/Omágua indigenous people, located on the banks of the river, 60 km from Manaus (AM). The project arises in a context of ethnic affirmation of the Kambeba/Omágua people, in the search to meet the sociocultural and environmental needs of the community, promoting meeting spaces, preservation of ancestral memory and sustainable practices. In addition, the architecture aims to respond to daily challenges faced by the community, such as isolation during the low water period and the inadequate disposal of solid waste, affecting subsistence, public health and the environment. The proposal aims to create a space that represents the cultural continuity of the Kambebas and that contributes to the preservation of their history, values ​​and way of life.
