The projects will bring the benefits of digital access to public and private services for socially-excluded and geographically-isolated communities located in different areas, from cities to mountains, desert and jungles.

The CCC´s design consists of a modular structure capable of adapting to different uses and configurations while offering a simple strategy for growth. The different communities affected would be actively involved in both the design and selection of materials for the façades and in providing vernacular solutions for covering the newly generated public spaces.
