Arquine TALLER: Community Development Center Los Chocolates
Community Development Center Los Chocolates was conceived as part of a program to reactivate a rundown area in Carolina, one of the most traditional neighborhoods of downtown Cuernavaca. The architects—Mauricio Rocha and Gabriela Carrillo of the firm TALLER—began with a community consultation to explore what form and function the building should take. These sessions revealed that the community wanted a multipurpose venue containing cultural and recreational facilities. TALLER developed a plan for a flexible, environmentally sustainable structure; despite a relatively small physical footprint, the building incorporates spaces for theater, music, painting, art exhibitions, sports activities and more. TALLER: Community Development Center Los Chocolates analyzes the design and realization of the building, from consultations through to construction, and concludes with a look at how the completed building and gardens are being used by the local community.

Arquine Collaborative Tools for Community Architecture
How architects can collaborate with communities in the creation of a more meaningful civic architecture: a user's guide As community becomes a more dominant paradigm in how architecture is produced, more people become involved in its creation. This implies a change in the role of the architect from being an individual author to a facilitator, from being an independent expert to establishing and managing collaboration. With a wealth of detailed analysis and clear, well-designed graphics, this volume offers practical tools for a truly collaborative architecture that is based on analysis, management, data collection and design. Avilla-Royo demonstrates how the architectural project becomes an instrument for citizen involvement in decision-making and how citizen involvement offers an exciting opportunity to improve the design and everyday uses of architecture. Raul Avilla-Royo (born 1987) is a Spanish architect and lecturer at the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) and the Architectural Association (AA) in London.

Arquine Andina
Nine design firms in discussion about the future of Colombian architecture Andina is a joint initiative started by a group of nine emerging Colombian architecture and design studios based in various cities, each with a shared focus on the betterment of their profession and an approach to construction that prioritizes diversity. The book presents a selection of current projects from each studio and aims to foster open dialogues about contemporary Colombian architecture. The project was inspired after the Covid-19 pandemic sparked a group conversation about projects that had been put on hold. Over a period of two years of intermittent lockdowns, these conversations, mostly held by video conference, provided an opportunity to analyze how international media and publications had failed to focus on Colombia’s rich architectural scene of the past two decades. The nine studios comprising this collective represent a newly emerging generation of contemporary architecture in Columbia that is not to be overlooked.
