Coexistence: Oca do Ibiti becomes a gallery with photo exhibitions and models
What commitments do we make to regenerating the world we live in? On display at the Oca do Ibiti for an indefinite period, the exhibition "Coexistence - Constructions, Cultivation and Regeneration" invites us to reflect on the connection between human beings and nature, showing how we can coexist with the world around us. Through the sensitive photographs of Marcio Brigatto and the handmade models of architect Luiz Antônio Saraiva Campos, or Tziu, the exhibition weaves a narrative about the interaction between human beings, their constructions and the regeneration of the natural world, in scenes of life in Vila Mogol and Ibiti Projeto. "The regeneration of nature also reflects human regeneration. The scenes captured by Marcio dialogue with the organic constructions of Ibiti, marked by simplicity and so well represented by Tziu's models. This encounter between the sophisticated and the ancestral, between the planned and the spontaneous, presents a rich and contrasting universe," says Heliane Machado, who wrote the show's text and worked on the conception of the exhibition alongside Regina Machado and Raquel Salgado, both from the Lagar Arquitetura office, responsible for the exhibition project. Exhibition celebrates harmony between architecture and nature At the opening, which took place on August 9, nature was represented by the beautiful bromeliads, orchids and other plants from Ibiti Orquídeas, owned by entrepreneur Guilherme Salgado, who runs the Ibiti nursery. The atmosphere of poetry, mining and many stories was completed with live music from the Olho d'água duo and the screening of the documentary "Lembranças do Mogol", which brings together testimonies from former residents. With the hard work and dedication of the Ibiti team, in a few weeks the Oca do Ibiti was transformed into a gallery, adding more content to the multifunctional space, which hosts events and accommodations for groups.

Mini Ibiti: Art in sustainable models
Discover Ibiti Projeto's sustainable models and the history behind the buildings The sustainable models by architect Luiz Antônio Saraiva Campos, or Tziu, catch the eye of those who enter the large hall of the Gaia Café, in Vila do Mogol, where the Ibiti Village accommodation concept operates. More than just replicas, these miniatures tell stories and preserve the memory of the buildings of Ibiti Projeto and Minas Gerais. The 1:50 scale houses impress with their detail and creativity in the use of recycled materials. Made from reused wood, building stones, fungi and dehydrated plants, they enchant visitors and have become a symbol of sustainable architecture in Ibiti. For those who visit Ibiti, these miniatures are just one of the many special features that end up standing out on social networks around the world. The creative process behind the sustainable models Since 2003, when he took part in the restoration and expansion of the old Viradouro headquarters, Tziu has been transforming architectural projects into detailed models. According to him, these replicas help to visualize the work before it is built and encourage construction professionals to take care and pride in their projects. They are also an example of sustainable art, as they use: ✅ Stone chips and reused wood✅ Cardboard and recycled Styrofoam✅ Fungi, branches and dried plants for vegetation✅ Macela to simulate yellow ipês Miniature houses, real stories Each model in Ibiti has a story. Some represent houses that already exist and have been restored; others, dreams of future projects. 🛖 Boa Vista Farm: "It must be from the mid-1700s, a remnant of the bandeirante period. It's been completely restored. We kept the original architecture, but opened more windows for the beautiful view of the mountain wall. Internally, it has been adapted for lodging." 🏡 Casa da Mata do Luna: "It was all built with demolition material, right down to the bricks. It was the first home of the biologists who looked after the muriquis in Mata do Luna. It even has a research laboratory." 🌿 The future Bistrô das Sete Quedas: "Our dream is to build a restaurant and pizzeria overlooking the Sete Quedas, right below the Janela do Céu." And the stories don't stop there. There's the Wangari mansion, the Freud House, the Areião 'loft'... Each building brings a little piece of Ibiti and its commitment to preservation. Come and see the sustainable models Tziu's models are an invitation to discover the history and essence of Ibiti Projeto.
