Sustainability has come into focus in all sectors of contemporary society. It seeks to
combine economic and social development with respect for nature, aiming to
preserve natural resources for future generations. Architecture projects and their
execution are included in this context and perhaps, it is one of the main activities that
could enable the achievement of a more sustainable world, its responsibility in the
consumption of materials, the use of constructive techniques that use less resources
and the creation of solutions that enable the reduction of energy consumption.
Concomitantly, with international awareness of the threats that predatory exploration
of resources would bring to nature, ecotourism arises. A new form of leisure tourism
that takes tourists to visit places in search of an experience with nature in its purest
state. This work seeks to contribute with a proposal for the creation of an
architectural project, combining the best practices of the sustainable architecture and
the potential of a new way of exploring the tourist activity in the island of Combu, in
order to insert in the process of economic development, the riverside communities
and the preservation of the environment.
