“La Ganadera” is a commercial building for a local association of livestock farmers in the city of San Francisco del Rincón, Guanajuato. The architectural program attends the following needs: meeting area, offices, drug store, warehouse, kitchen, and terrace. The emplacement is given in the corner of the main street that seeks an immediate visual answer, through a dynamic composition and the acknowledgment of solid material composition.
The team decided to lean on stereotomic and vernacular architecture, that looks forward being touched by the dust, wet by the rain as well as its founding in the vegetation its own shadows. Through color, texture, the mud’s irregular walls, concrete, and wood, we grant a character that can easily bring the users reminiscences of the countryside which is essential for their lives.
The volume of the composition is composed of a solid element and an empty one that balances each other out. This last element divides the composition moreover, it also has inclinations and floating elements which attempts to evoque the archetype of the farms.
