This project was made for a dwelling in need, located in Tierra Colorada, Ajusco. To get references and good knowledge of the location of these dwellings we went on location and made a photography diary which showed how the people that reside there really live. These being really poor conditions, with barely a roof to hold up their home. For the project we had to detect main problems; My team and I detected that the people living there barely get any water and it's a whole problem for them to gather and stock water from the rain. That's why we decided to design this structure mechanism, which gathers the water from the rain and then it can be used to wash clothes and dishes at the sink located on the side.
