BARRIO INFORMAL SAN CAYETANO ALTO ‐ LOJA ‐ ECUADOR
This small public space made by bricks is the first of 10 small spaces designed in San Cayetano Alto informal district in Loja Ecuador.
The double aim is to graft spaces for sociality in a disctrict with totally lack of any basic infrastructure and to promote the social role of architects to the community.
It was realized with financial contribution by UTPL and built by students of the Faculty of Architecture, involving several problematic children coming from this barrio.
Is an inclusive space with benches that could work as small stages for street art festival of this andine town.
