Abstract

Derek Dellekamp, an architect in Mexico City, designed a community center called PILARES using the principles of Brutalism. The center, built from brick and concrete, is located in a marginalized district and features repeating arches as its construction system. The building includes workshops, classrooms, and a central axis with glass panels. Despite some imperfections in the finishing, the center has been embraced by the local community and has become an integral part of the neighborhood. [Extracted from the article]
