The Benito Juarez sector is one of the oldest settlements in the city of Mazatlan and a consolidated urban area with all public services and infrastructure present in a completely built environment.  Within this urban sector previous facilities of the Ministry of Public Security and Municipal Transit occupy an entire block. This disused space has great potential to be transformed into a multifunctional facility and an open public space, as a place for physical, recreational and cultural activity, which allows strengthening an urban centrality and becoming an architectural icon for Mazatlan.

 

The intervention includes the construction of a sports and cultural center that will house a multi-sports gym, dojo or space for practicing contact sports, boxing and weights gym, performing arts center and media library, as well as services.  The architectural program is disaggregated into four buildings knitted together by a set of open spaces in the form of corridors, rooms, small squares and gardens in which various outdoor activities take place in natural or built shade. The space is binded through a central corridor that aims to provide visual and pedestrian continuity to Del Muelle Street, thus linking the two ends of the neighborhood and allowing greater permeability through the space.
