    I have 2 questions:

    1. What do the purple and pink lines on the first google satellite map refer to, and how about the circle filled with blue on the top left corner? What are “tanque”s?

    2. Will the cultural center be the property of the community of La Semmila?

    Thank you!

      1. The purple lines are lines for water distribution, the pink lines are the road, The thick pink line exist now and the thin pink line is a proposal for a road. The circle filled with blue on the top left corner is a dam, “Tanques” mean water deposit. The idea is capture the rain water in the blue circle and then pump this water to the other sites on the top around the ecovillage.

      2. Yes, the cultural center will be property of the community, but there will be sponsors that will retain partial ownership as well.

    I am guessing the cultural center site is the thick green line right?
    thanks

    The posted pictures exhibit quite a contract between primitive and modern characteristics. While understanding modern architecture could be inspired from cultural elements, still I would like to know if the proposed cultural center is preferably gravitated by the client towards more modern or traditional style.

      The proposed cultural center should be more gravitated towards a balance between modern and traditional styles.
