Paso por aquí todos los días, así que quiero cambiar cosa mala de ahí

L'Hospitalet del Llobregat

Esta foto es de una experiencia negativa, porque todas las mañanas cuando camino por este jardín veo gente tirando basura en él, a veces la basura huele mal y me dan ganas de irme de allí lo antes posible, porque espero que a través de esto, la gente no tire basura, para que la gente pueda tirar la basura a la basura a voluntad, así que esto es muy importante para mí.

Flor de maiz

R+LAB

Flor de Maíz is an intervention made alongside the inhabitants of the neighboirhood Toctiuco, students from the university of the Americas - UDLA, Quito, and URBANLAB Medellín/Berlin. The intervention was meant to improve the public space of this accidented topographic neighbourhood through a playground, facades intervantion, a viewpoint, and enhancing the stairs, an urban element that is located along the area but that unfortunately has been left aside by locals and became a hub of trash.

The design was based on the name Toctiuco, a quechua word that means "corn flower" (flor de maíz), that incentives people to feel identified and give them a sense of appropiation. Both the design and construction of these urban intervantions have activated and improved the quality of use in the public space, a playground and a viewpoint. The intervantion was done in december 2019 and now we're entering into a new phase of urban intervention in Toctiuco, potentially to be done in september 2021.
