De Yanomami

De Yanomami leven in grote, ronde gemeenschapshuizen. Sommige van deze yanos of shabonos kunnen tot vierhonderd mensen huisvesten. Het open middengedeelte wordt gebruikt voor rituelen, feesten en spelen.

De Yanomami geloven sterk in de gelijkheid van mensen. Elke gemeenschap is onafhankelijk en de Yanomami erkennen geen ‘opperhoofden’. Besluiten worden alleen op basis van consensus genomen, vaak na langdurig overleg, waarbij iedereen aan het woord komt.

Balkrishna Doshi

"Doshi’s work displays his core belief in the power of architecture as a radical and profound act, one that can create lasting positive change in the ways people relate to one another and live collectively. He believes architecture in and of itself is incomplete, and it is only in its interaction with the inhabitant (whether an individual or a community) that its potential is fully realized. This philosophy is evident in his approach to design. Doshi speaks of and seeks a “living” architecture; in his work, people, nature, and the built environment are melded in active dialogue, all evolving together."
