A couple questions,
1) You specify dimensions of 13 x 13m, however, you indicate that the preferred shaped is a circle. Do you want it to be 13m diameter? Or something in the range of 169 m2?
2) Foreigners can’t legally own land in Mexico, how will this transaction be held in case we are the winner?
3) How do we know that the prize land is a good piece of land (good for construction, good view, connected to facilities, etc…)
1. The area for the building should be 13 meters in diameter.
2. Please refer here for the legal information.
3. For now, all of the residencies of the community are in the same part of the land- facilities will be right there and the site for construction has been surveyed as being fit for construction. The view is good, it however is not as great as the view from the cultural center, or close for that matter.
Thanks

Your requirement states, “uses other natural resources for the majority of the remainder of the structure”. Could you explict what might not be regarded as “natural resources”. Would concrete wall and Metal stud structure with stucco finish qulify for this requirement?
Thanks.
Concrete and metal studs and stucco aren’t technically natural resources, but if you can use them accordingly as “natural resources” then feel free to implement them.
