Please describe the project specifications

Idea Associates was responsible for the design of this elementary school in Mexico City after a 2018 earthquake left the original building severely damaged. With help from a donation from the Alberto Baillères Foundation, we handled the design and construction of the roof to provide the children protection from the sun and rain.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We developed the leaf-shaped pattern you see here using a pre-assembly structural system that reduced the time on site, allowing us to finish the project in four weeks.
