It took 100 pairs of hands just 4 days to complete this community center in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Its a testament to crowd-sourced architecture, where hands come together to forge something that enriches a local community.
The Mexico Institute for Community Development isnt the first to crowd-source an architectural project.
In fact, this is an ancient building method shared by most world cultures.
From Amish barn-raising to modern Habitat for Humanity, volunteer-built structures is a common tradition.
The building started as a reinforced concrete frame that stood empty on its Guadalajara plot.
The mud acts as a insulation, occupying most of the wall space between the concrete beams.
Your hands could buildthe next IMDEC project.
