wolán
Wolán refers to a traditional dwelling found among indigenous communities in certain regions of South America, particularly within parts of the Amazon basin. These structures are characterized by their distinct architectural style, often featuring a circular or oval floor plan. The primary building materials are typically natural and locally sourced, such as wood, thatch, and various plant fibers. The roofs are usually steeply pitched and thatched to provide protection from heavy rainfall and sunlight.
The construction of a wolán is often a communal effort, reflecting the social structures of the communities
