The population of Zona Angeles is mostly made up of young people originating from other municipalities, with limited leisure opportunities and long working hours. Factors such as these, along with educational lag and the lack of cultural activities, led us to propose equipment proposals that would allow the residents of this area to live a better day-to-day life and enhance their skills, as well as encourage interaction among community members

Through the study of the location, we were able to recognize the main avenues, the busiest streets for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as the water runoffs that allow for greater vegetation growth in specific areas As a result, in designing the master plan of 5 community facilities, we respected those elements of space permeated by the community and nature, and regenerated those that had been ignored

The Ideas Factory is a facility that seeks to address an urgent issue in the development of its residents. Prior to the pandemic, education had already taken a greater direction towards technology and information, which caused a significant educational setback and increased dropout rates, particularly in the area, as only 20% of the population had access to the internet and computers, with an average education level of only 10 years

The facility was specifically designed to strengthen the identity of the Parrense community through the use of vernacular materials such as reeds, steel, earth blocks, and vaulted roofs inspired by the emblematic Parras Textile Factory. With free access to the internet and computers, the Ideas Factory becomes a safe and open space for education, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and the development of great dreams and ideas
