Participatory Process
The process was generated through participatory design dynamics during the pandemic (May 2020-2023), where design guidelines were established, such as: multipurpose spaces, enclosures that allow for the gradual opening of urban edges, playing with transparency, crossing boundaries, and appropriation. This effort was carried out in collaboration with the Moravia Island Development Association, the Municipality of Moravia, the United States Embassy, EntreNos Atelier, and the community of Moravia Island.
