​

The community center is provided with every degree of flexibility, both in a volumetric and detailed scale, a place that people can modify depending on their needs, a reference point for the inhabitants in San Juan de Lurigancho. 

We divided the required functions in four groups, that generate four modules: library where to read, playroom and nursery where to play, dining hall and kitchen where to eat, meeting and workshops hall where to learn, while parties and memorials, that accomodate most of the community, happen in the entire space.

The pavilion is square-shaped and it has a central area to which all the functions are visually connected. 

The main idea of the furnished wall came from the need to optimize space and to characterize each module. This special wall consists of a reticulum of wood lumbers, all modulated in the same way for an easy transportation and realization. 

The project can be placed in any available site thanks to the openings designed on all the sides, this also facilitates the sustainable need of cross-ventilation. The project includes also the possibility of future growth (up to 6x12 m), thus stimulating the community to be the protagonist of its own improvement. The total cost of the construction is contained withing the budget of 3800$.
