Text description provided by the architects. In Jojutla, Morelos, Mexico, the earthquake of September 19, 2017, left more than 2,600 homes destroyed, as most of its public infrastructure too, such as schools, plazas, and the central church. Our team was in charge of the reconstruction of the Santuario del Señor de Tula, a heritage worship center with more than five centuries of history.

The project is developed from a large roof made up of brick vaults, supported by a cast-in-place concrete structure. The structure is resolved from a structural arch on each side that is supported only in the corners. This solution allows the passage of air and the entry of comfortable light for ceremonies, thus avoiding the use of mechanical air conditioning systems and excessive energy consumption in artificial lighting.
