独立社区中心于2011年9月落成，由CáTedra Blanca的一群教授和学生设计，这是蒙特雷技术学院的高级设计讲习班，由新莱昂州政府建造。这是一座7，100平方米的建筑，位于独立社区，同时也是梅西科蒙特雷市最传统和冲突的建筑之一。该中心为这一地区的人们提供服务，并举办了一系列社区发展项目。

The Independencia Community Center, inaugurated in September 2011, was designed by a group of professors and students of the Cátedra Blanca, an advanced design workshop at the Tec de Monterrey, and built by the state government of Nuevo Leon. It is a 7,100 sqm building, located in the Independencia neighborhood, at once one of the most traditional and conflictive in the city of Monterrey, México. The center offers services to people in this area and hosts a series of community development programs.

该建筑物被组织成四个矩形体积围绕着一个花园，由服务模块和垂直循环连接。在形式上，这四个主要的体积是由承载混凝土框架，作为砖-溶胶.在建筑物的外部周边，框架之间每三个空间中就有一个指定用于空调管道、卫生和电气设施；其余的是窗户。混凝土框架和有序的安装允许内部空间易于细分和适应不同的需要。

The building is organized into four rectangular volumes around a garden, articulated by service modules and vertical circulations. Formally, the four main volumes are composed of load-bearing concrete frames that serve as brise-soleils. In the building’s outer perimeter, one in three spaces between the frames is assigned for air conditioning ducts and sanitary and electric installations; the rest are windows. The concrete frames and the orderly installations allow for the interior spaces to be subdivided easily and adapted to different needs.

大楼的主要入口位于西面。大厅，通过南立面上的一个巨大的楼梯进入，是一个双高的空间，面向中央花园。这个空间里有一个阁楼，里面有一个图书馆和一个计算机实验室。一楼有办公室和设施供一所在线高中使用。

The building’s main entrance is located in the west volume. The lobby, which is accessed through a monumental staircase on the south façade, is a double height space that faces the central garden. A mezzanine in this space houses a library and a computer lab. The ground floor has office spaces and facilities for an online high school.

进入北部和南部体积是通过露天走廊覆盖4.8米的悬臂混凝土板。走廊的尺寸允许它们作为环绕它们的房间的延伸。除其他用途外，这些房间还设有一个小型电影院、工艺作坊和一个设有烹饪课的大厅。

Access to the north and south volumes is through open-air corridors covered by 4.8 meters cantilevered concrete slabs. The corridors’ dimensions allow them to be used as extensions of the rooms that surround them. These rooms house, among other uses, a small cinema, arts and crafts workshops and a hall equipped for cooking classes.

这座建筑的东面体积是西面体积的一面镜子。它包括一个双层大厅，木地板将主要用于体育活动，但也可能举办邻里集会和社会活动。大厅的一端有更衣室、举重室和跆拳道班、健美操和其他运动场地。

The building’s east volume is a mirror reflection of the west volume. It consists of a double-height hall with wooden floors that will be primarily used for athletic activities, but might also host neighborhood assemblies and social events. On one end of the hall there are locker rooms, a weight room and spaces for tae kwon do classes, aerobics and other sports.

构成东西向体积的混凝土框架的上端为Y形.阳光在它们之间过滤，间接地照亮室内空间。他们的设计灵感来自墨西哥许多现代主义市场和工业设施的具体结构，由Félix Candela、Enrique del Moral和Pedro Ramírez Vázquez等建筑师设计。Y结构的空隙将很快种植丰富的植被，这将有助于调节建筑物的温度。

The upper ends of the concrete frames that constitute the east and west volumes are Y-shaped. Sunlight filters between them and illuminates interior spaces indirectly. Their design was inspired by the concrete structures of many modernist markets and industrial facilities in Mexico, designed by architects such as Félix Candela, Enrique del Moral and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez. The empty spaces in the Y structures will soon be planted with abundant vegetation, which will contribute to regulate the building’s temperature.

北面和南面的屋顶都是露台，可以俯瞰一英里外的蒙特利市中心，以及周围的合法和非正规定居点。

The north and south volumes’ rooftops are terraces that afford spectacular views of downtown Monterey, about one mile away, and of the surrounding legal and irregular settlements.
