Craft Lab, “Territory of Knowledge”, Alto Chichireni
The river and the forest are not boundaries, but living classrooms.
The project weaves together crops, water, and knowledge in an ecosystem that breathes with the community.
Spaces for learning, craftsmanship, and gathering connect with the landscape, nurturing a regenerative cycle of culture, land, and education.
Here, architecture does not build walls, but bridges — between generations, ancestral knowledge, and future possibilities — imagining a territory that flourishes in balance and resilience.
Currently, the Guillermo Chiricente Román Secondary School, located in the native community of Alto Chichireni, serves 204 students and is one of the few secondary schools in this rural area of the Peruvian Amazon. Despite its importance, the current infrastructure does not meet minimum safety or sanitation standards.
