Centro Cultural Fernando Ponce G Cantón
Discover the Centro Cultural Fernando Ponce G Cantón, a unique cultural and artistic space in Mérida, Yucatán designed for Grupo BEPENSA employees and their children.

Discover what makes it unique

On the border between the urban edge and the countryside, a small building emerges, located amidst the sports and recreational facilities that a corporate group provided for its employees. Its purpose is to present cultural events, offer spaces for various art classes, and provide educational support; all of which is focused on the children of the group's employees.

The project basically consists of two built elements: A prism volume intended for the operational offices, situated "on the city side"; and an "amoeba" that will shelter the dance, music, and painting classrooms "on the countryside side," with a tree-covered courtyard between them. An open auditorium complements the complex.
