Given the opportunity to be engaged in a project with high social concerns, the C Spot comes as a reflex of a sustainable mission where the developer contributes to reduce levels of illiteracy by awarding the communities. This would be done through building roads, viaducts, and bridges with a Spot, which is more than a school, but actually a space that foments social elevations through education. Designed by Segmento Urbano Arquitectos, the proposal was shortlisted as part of the World Architecture Festival competition. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Acting as community centers and people gatherers’, the C Spots are supposed to be placed in sites with neither water nor electricity and with poor and un-characterized urban tissues. They are therefore designed to be portable, since assembled in main construction yards and then transported into their final site, cheap, with a maximum budget of 25.000USD and with no running costs, easy to build and self sustained.
