Book: QUIANE II DESIGNBUILD MEXICO 2019/2020

In spring 2020, just before the coronavirus pandemic began, students of the University of Applied Sciences Munich and the Universidad La Salle in Oaxaca– completed the second and final construction phase
of the Quiané DesignBuild Mexico project in the small municipality of Santa Catarina Quiané. This is the documentation of the project laid out like a diary in 38 days.
However, the contents are not necessarily intended to represent a chronological development, as many things
happen simultaneously or in parallel during the process of planning and construction. Furthermore, the focus is not just the completed building, but also the experiences, impressions, and insights the team gathered over the course of six months, from the planning phase in Munich to the construction phase in Mexico.
This story is about success as well as challenges of an international team of students and lecturers, who by
working and living, albeit for a short period, with the people of Santa Catarina Quiané, not only developed an expertise, but also learned a lot about themselves and their own limits.
