school of america / Puebla de Zaragoza, Mexico

​

The project is an imaginary institution, a place for the exchange of ideas and thoughts between the different students of the Hispanic American world represented by the countries where Spanish has been spoken, spoken or will be spoken: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica , Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, the United States, the Philippines, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela.

The construction of the Colegio de América in Puebla is proposed, a school that It arises from the union of the American peoples based on the feeling of unity as a continent. It is a way of taking advantage of the cultural and social richness of the new world to be able to merge it into a single common formative school.
Puebla is a colonial city in which there are only architectural pieces of interest in the streets near the zócalo. The rest of the buildings and due to their poorer and simpler character, are limited to the construction of smooth walls, in which they are occasionally open vertical rectangular openings. Despite its simplicity, it is the combination of colors of the different properties that gives vitality to the streets. Likewise, the main façade is conceived as a large colored blind wall with a single opening that marks the most important entrance. When going through the volumes after passing through the wall, the concrete provides the traditional stone character of the area. The light and some colored interior walls immerse the prisms in warmer spaces.
