Briefly

A design competition in Mexico City sought to create small community centers tailored to diverse neighborhoods. UdeB Arquitectos, TO Arquitectos, and AGENdA collaborated to prioritize efficient water usage, especially rainwater harvesting via butterfly roofs, due to the city’s limited water resources. The collaborative design aimed for a modular approach, allowing for flexibility and adaptability in the spatial configurations of the centers. The structures used a blend of iron and wood to offer a permeable connection and enhance urban accessibility while accommodating a variety of future community needs.
The collaboration focused on efficient water resource management in designs, featuring butterfly roofs for rainwater harvesting, addressing Mexico City's scarcity of water.
