Finalists in Archstorming Competition | Community Center in India

Archstorming, in partnership with Vicente Ferrer Foundation (VFF) and its Indian counterpart, Rural Development Trust (RDT), embarked an architecture competition which challenged participants to design a Community Center that could be adapted and replicated across different villages.
