Abstract

The Cuexcomate Community Centre Project is carried out within the reconstruction context in Mexico, after the September 2017 earthquakes. The following notice shows the architectonic aspects of resilience and sustainability in the project, which main aim is to analyse the social, environmental, and economical scope in the design and construction of the aforementioned Centre by means of using Compressed Earth Blocks. Methodologically speaking, this research assembles data from the participative designing process, as well as the social housing production that nourishes research-action issues. The co-produced research is a source of qualitative data supporting the design and construction of the Community Centre. The outcomes of the research shows, alongside the several stages of the participative process (management, design, construction, operation), how resilience is a rectangular process where the different agents may contribute to reducing vulnerabilities from the sustainable architecture.
