Centro de Desarrollo Comunitario

The Community Development Center (CDC) is a cultural and educational space that offers more inclusive development opportunities for the local community. The project was conceived as a habitable sculptural piece, with an architectural program composed of workshops, multi-purpose rooms, a library, an auditorium, and an administrative area. These are developed through a simple structure, composed of eight monumental concrete panels perforated with semicircular arches. The perforations in the concrete panels create the necessary void for an interior garden, providing an urban oasis with a pleasant microclimate. The central garden concentrates the core of the work, a vibrant space that allows for interesting views from inside the building.

The project is part of an urban master plan designed for SEDATU, which renovated three of the city's most representative public spaces: the High-Performance Sports Center, the Community Development Center (CDC), and the Recreational Park "El Campestre".
