benjamín ibarra-sevilla . fall 2024 centro comunitario . oaxaca, mexico
This project is inspired by the broken ceramic pieces found in the mountains of the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán region. The design reinterprets the broken piece as “fragments” that distinguish spaces, connected by outdoor pathways. These pathways act as visual and physical threads, stitching the fragmented pieces together into a cohesive whole. The center serves as a community hub tailored primarily for local ceramic artisans and Cuicatlán residents, while also welcoming tourists, eco-tourists, researchers, and educational groups. The project intends to celebrate the region’s heritage and foster connections between people, place, and craft.
