Located within the Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco—a territory of great historical and environmental significance in the Valley of Mexico —the Escuela Comunitaria Texcoco campus, designed by Leonardo Neve Design Group, proposes an architecture that reinterprets the relationship between comm unity and landscape. More than a building, the project acts as a bridge between the site’s lacustrine memory and its future ecological regeneration.
The campus occupies 10.4 hectares within an area that once formed part of Lake Texcoco, now integrated into an ambitious ecological restoration initiative following the cancellation of the Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de México. Within this context, the project celebrates environmental recovery and the creation of public space for the surrounding communities while protecting a unique ecosystem and its endemic species.
The architectural proposal establishes a dialogue with the natural and cultural context of the site. It draws inspiration from the identity of the Indigenous and rural communities that historically inhabited these lands through an architecture of human sca le, the use of local materials, natural textures, and low-maintenance construction solutions that evoke the character of the landscape. Among these materials, local stone and brick play a central role, reinforcing the regional identity of the project while contributing to passive environmental strategies thanks to their thermal mass and ability to regulate interior temperatures.
A fundamental aspect of the project is its community -assisted self-construction process, carried out with the active participation of local communities, particularly farmers from San Salvador Atenco. Through this collaborative approach, the construction of the campus became a collective process in which the technical knowledge of the design team merged with the local communities’ construction experience and deep understanding of the territory.
This process not only helped optimize resources and utilize accessible materials, but also strengthened the connection between architecture and the community that inhabits it. The participation of Atenco’s farmers contributed labor, local knowledge of soil conditions, and an understanding of the site’s climate, resulting in a project that reflects the social and cultural identity of the territory.
Because the site lies within a former lacustrine basin with potential seasonal flooding, the entire project is elevated 1.5 meters above the natural ground level. This strategy places the buildings on raised platforms that protect the campus from possible water level fluctuations while reinforcing the project’s presence within the open landscape of the ecological park.
With a sustainable approach, the campus incorporates bioclimatic strategies, efficient water management, and passive technologies that transform the building into a practical example of environmental responsibility. The design carefully considers topograph y, vegetation, and climate, allowing the architecture to integrate harmoniously into the ecological park and strengthen the relationship between built space and territory.
Beyond its educational function, Escuela Comunitaria Texcoco encourages interaction and exchange among students, faculty, and the surrounding community. Through this project, Leonardo Neve Design Group reaffirms its vision of architecture as a tool to rege nerate territories, strengthen communities, and honor the memory of an emblematic landscape of the Valley of Mexico.
