The design premise of the building’s complexity focuses on providing a sense of community through the careful manipulation of ground and public space interaction. San Martín De Las Cañas, Jalisco, Mexico has little or almost no vehicular traffic within the village, this allows for a more liberated commute to the site without the mechanistic pollution caused by automobiles. This allows the distance of approach to the site to be essential for people to experience, because in the village people interact with rhythms provided by immediate site conditions. The site of San Martin has a man-made retention pond for the collection of rain water that facilitates water management; this lake however is very contaminated and unsafe for swimming. When visiting the site, despite the many risks the lake poses, the people persisted swimming in it. The design negotiates water through a designed programmatic space, so that people that occupy the area are empowered with a sense of a collective place. The design sustains this foreign intervention, through the implementation of three site specific programs which are as follows: a space for the community to interact and learn about their heritage a culture center, second a place for knowledge and learning a library, and last a public space that ties these programs together, a public pool. Together these three spaces provide a community center that is rooted to site by engaging the existing context.
