In rural Mexico, climate change doesn't just bring more frequent and extended droughts or increasingly unpredictable rain. It also reveals the fractures beneath the surface: the corruption, the inequality and the everyday barriers that shape who benefits and who is left behind.

It's about the systems that determine who gets access in the first place.
RootStudio proposes an alternative, where the waiting period becomes a spatial condition worthy of design attention. Each intervention is organized around a continuous roof supported by a rhythmic structural frame.
