The project borrows its name from the “Ocara”, the central square in indigenous settlements in South America where important community meetings and rituals take place. The layout of villages and shape of the houses (“ocas”) may vary, but the location is always defined by visual control of the surroundings and proximity to rivers and forest. The Folly 2014 site suggests a direct connection with such parameters and the centrality of the “Ocara”. Surrounded by trees, it resembles an elliptical indigenous settlement. In our proposal the non-built space of the village remains as the focal point, becoming the built element instead. If the indigenous Ocara has formal uses, ours reassures the definition of the folly, as an object built for pleasure, enhanced in this case by the sacred-like portion of the landscape, helping reinforce the feeling that man belongs to the Earth, not the other way around
