The building is located in an atypical block of the city of Buenos Aires, in the neighborhood of Nueva Pompeya. It has the particularity of being limited by the service back of the Central Aeronautical Hospital and the Colonia Obrera San Vicente de Paul (1912 - 1926), composed by a ground floor with full circulation and permeability inside, where the respective accesses to the houses from the internal passages are established.

The degradation of the southern area in terms of public space and urban development highlights the conceptual guidelines when thinking about a public building. A Community Cultural Center must respond to this problem in its greatest commitment: to attend to the needs of its inhabitants, of its society. The decision to generate a free ground floor framed by its two semi-covered and programmatic pieces tries to define a public space scenario where it integrates the private housing complex with the rest of the urban elements.

A classic typology wintegrates with its context and define an urban imaginary, where its constructive simplicity does not attempt to be the protagonist but to give the place for the activities and their flexibility character within the complex city. In this way, its lightweight structure prepares the building for the changes it may undergo overtime in the conception of an ephemeral culture of collective projection.
