Overlooking the community of Siloé, The Canchas De La Estrella provides both a vital amenity and community oriented agricultural facility to an area lacking facilitators of economic and social development. The project identified the City of Cali’s highway infrastructure construction as a dilemma to the existing football field and opportunity for development in the community of Siloé. The proposed football field, water collection facility, and agricultural terraces navigate the impending highway to create a network of infrastructure that is beneficial to the social environment through the engagement of sports and play, as well as contributes to the economic development of the community through structured agricultural development. The master plan of the proposed development links each component of the design to create a closed loop environmental system where rainwater collection and fertilizer pits integrated into the design of a football stand and amenity space fuels the growth of agricultural production. A rainwater retention basin behind the football field reduces the amount of rainwater runoff from the steep mountains above and mitigates the risks of mudslides which are prone to the area. Architecturally, the amenity space is minimal in its use of materials and considers its local context with the use of bamboo columns and roof structure.
