Being used by peasant families of the community of Las Palomas (Nicaragua), the Agricultural Community Center has the goal to secure sales of regional agricultural goods, share processing and production facilities and generate sustainable development by different educational programs. As 'participation' is the key in order to reach those goals, the community has been involved in the evaluation of needs, the design-process and will strongly take part in the construction process itself - under supervision of a group of women, specialized in building with earth. A 5-week field trip to Nicaragua preceded this Master’s project.
