Papyrus was made from the Cyperus papyrus, a very common plant in Egypt, near the Nile River Delta. Its cultivation was cultivated by royal decree, thus calling it the "Flower of the King."
Papyrus was a material used in the manufacture of various everyday objects, its main use being the production of manuscript supports, which in ancient times were called "papyrus," a material on which writing was done and used for record-keeping, as a predecessor of paper.
Casa Papiro strives to envelop the visitor in every detail upon entering, developing a spiral path accompanied by scenic lighting that creates private, relaxing, and pleasant environments conducive to reflection.
Just as in ancient Egypt, when papyrus was used to support writing, Casa Papiro has been designed so that the user can interact with it upon contact. Using advanced Virtual Reality techniques, the user can dictate their story on it, just as papyrus and writing were done in ancient times—the user leaves their mark.
Additional Features: Reclaimed Green Surface, Solar Cells, Smart Home System
