A large group of women side by side an enthusiastic group of volunteers —with the support and direction of Programa VACA— constructed in La Cebolleta community, located on the high mountains of Jalisco in Mexico, a community center with a store, workshop, traditional medicine Clinique, an auditorium and a patio. Local materials and the hands of the inhabitants and volunteers achieved in month and a half to finish this place.
Using local wood they constructed 3 different types of rooftops to be used as replica models for the houses, that are build in its majority using natural self-construction, the spaces have metal sheet rooftop for the most necessary recollection of rain water as access to water in this zone is scarce.
Two very easy reproducible elements with hybrid techniques were designed to encourage appropriation of this models and seek the improvement of the existing houses.
