Babassu Breakers Reference Center / Estudio Flume

The formation of organized associations within rural communities has allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of processing babaçu. The project represents an innovation in the daily lives of the community, since, throughout its development, we worked alongside them in a series of collective design workshops. By taking various approaches to finding solutions whether through images, dialogues, or speculations we organized the utility of the space and hierarchies within the built ensemble. In this sense, architecture functions as a means to provide the community with freedom and the future of the project with flexibility to adapt to new demands.
