Description
This is a constructed exploded axonometric of a Shabono, the traditional living quarters of the Yanomami, an indigenous in northern Brazil. This particular drawing examines the construction of the Shabono, focusing on the layers of material that allow the structure to protect its inhabitants in the pouring rains of the jungle, and on the radial nature of the structure, constructed entirely from local materials.
