International ideas competition for architecture students Cebada Community Centre at the Cebada Market place, Madrid.
The market has a great potential as a node for generating activity, not only through economic means, but also as a social centre, aspects that should be taken into consideration when planning the intervention.
The project must take advantage of the neighbourhoods‟ high potential for social interaction and design a community centre, one that can offer something to do for all ages, as well as an open public space.The neighbours miss the old sports centre and swimming pool, as well as a dedicated care home for elders.
The point is to investigate what solutions are useful for the area, and which might reactivate it, taking advantage of its potential. We encourage all groups to work around these concepts, taking into consideration the real necessities of the space.
