Popis projektu

The project called WAYRA is a productive urban gallery that seeks interaction in the balance of production through the design of equipment and treatment of public space in a tourist sector due to its proximity to the “Atazo”. In design, pedestrians have priority, generating a friendly intervention with humans and the environment.
It seeks to strengthen four important factors in the field of production such as food, medicinal, artisanal and commercial related to the natural landscape.
Equipment such as workshops, restaurants, laboratories, flexible classrooms and open spaces related to internal activities are proposed, forming a community atmosphere.
The inhabitants of the sector can teach their knowledge by making various crafts to other nearby inhabitants and tourists, thus improving the economy in the sector.
