The Cenit Arte Natura project has a proposal of vernacular architecture to which contemporary construction concepts and techniques have been introduced. Built with the technique of bio-architecture with Guadua or Bamboo. It is a handcrafted work that has required a lot of precision, patience and time.
Currently and thanks to the support received from the City of Geneva, Switzerland, the Pollination Project of USA, as well as private donors and own resources, Cenit Arte Natura has:
• A house/bedroom with capacity for 13 people
• Kitchen/dining room
• A theater or multifunctional space.
The goal has always been to build an impeccable space, a temple for the arts with social commitment and ecological awareness.
The construction of this space has been possible thanks to the support of the City of Geneva, Switzerland, the Theatre Du Galpon and all the friends and family who supported us in the Crowdfounding, as well as all the volunteers of different nationalities who left their sweat and joy here…
