The bamboo pavilion, snapped at a rare moment when it was empty. This extraordinary building, created by the Colombian architect Simón Vélez, with his associate Stefana Simic, is based on the “maloca”, the traditional habitat of the Orinoco basin, using the fast growing huge bamboos that grow everywhere in that region. The roof is thatched with local reeds. The skillfully ventilated structure stayed delightfully cool amid the blazing summer heat.
