Creating cohesive communities
ENORME Studio facilitates
the creation of a colorful park
structure in Northern Mexico
Construction was completed
almost entirely by the
students of the workshop
along with the help of
neighbors who spontaneously
joined in during the process.

Through an annual summer workshop called "Taller del Desierto,"
in Chihuahua, Mexico, the city's Institute of Architecture and Design
seeks to improve the local residents' lives through a design-based
project. This year, the institute approached Madrid-based ENORME
Studio to lead the program in partnership with local architects, Juan
Castillo and Miguel Heredia. The goal: to create a small infrastructure
in a park in Chihuahua's Santa Cecilia neighborhood that would
benefit the community as a whole.
The park, in essence, acts as the social heart of the
neighborhood-providing a gathering space for locals, such
as a meetup of women and children who practice mariachi and
a group of seniors who have adopted caretaking responsibilities
for the outdoor space.
In order to uncover how the park could best benefit those
who utilize it, the workshop began with a planning period focused
on community discussions. "The need for a large space with shade
seemed fundamental to each group-to host the performances
of the mariachi dancers, to parishioners who socialize
there after Catechesis, to the kids who spend their
afternoons there, and to the mothers who watch over
their children while they play on the playground," says Carmelo
Rodríguez, co-founder of ENORME.
The structure, called ARACHI or the Urban Alebrije, is a
canopy-like form that provides shade to those below. Drawing influence
from colorful Mexican Alebrijes-whimsical iconographies and folk
art symbols that denote mariachis and the traditional costumes of the
Rarámuris or Tarahumara women, native to the Sierra de Chihuahua-
the children painted the structure with lively geometric patterns
and designs.
ARACHI will be a permanent part of the community thanks
to its steel frame and concrete block furniture, while the textiles
creating shade will require some maintenance-a responsibility
that will be shared by the community.
"In the Santa Cecilia colony, everyone knows everyone, yet
each group used the park in an isolated way," Rodríguez says. "The idea
for ARACHI is to break this dynamic with a common place-one meant
for sharing." - MEGHAN DWYER
