Constructed from hand-cut balsa and walnut woods, it expresses the project’s material sensitivity and structural lightness. Rooted in regional techniques and tactile traditions, the model reflects how architecture can cultivate a profound connection between environment, culture, and contemporary experience. Kyle Gaffney, Co Founder and Senior Principal at SkB Architects Palapa 1:50 Structural Model - A palapa is a traditional Mexican structure with Indigenous roots, defined by its wide thatched roof and open, breathable form suited to tropical climates. Developed in dialogue with renowned palapa expert Simón Vélez, this study explores its structural logic through a hand-crafted balsa wood model. The act of making becomes a form of knowing, revealing how Indigenous knowledge persists through material practice—offering sustainable responses to environmental conditions and inviting renewed attention to the climatic intelligence embedded in vernacular traditions.
