Once marked by violence, an abandoned soccer field in Medellín is now UVA Sol de Oriente a thriving community hub empowering thousands. 🏙✨

Architects listened to residents and built a multi-level complex around the original field, adding dance rooms, a library, and community spaces while preserving its history.

The secret?
Bioclimatic design: vertical brises reduce heat, concrete walls naturally cool interiors, and synthetic turf replaced toxic dust. 🌍

The impact goes beyond architecture: air quality improved by 40%, and the space is now safe, accessible, and open 24/7.

Medellín proves that community-driven design can heal divisions and bring people together.
