“We are very excited to represent Puerto Rico in this gathering to bring an example of what we are already doing here in San Juan which is part of the larger efforts that designers are taking globally to create actionable initiatives that solve urban issues or provide new opportunities for public spaces in the city.” – Andrea Bauza, founder of Urbano Activo
IlluminAction was the result of a series of workshops led by UrbanoActivo’s LEP, Laboratorio Espacio Público, is an 11-member multi-disciplinary collective for the discussion and experimentation of the limits of public space in Puerto Rico. LEP conducted a series of workshops to explore the relationship between the public and private realm in San Juan. The group was looking to find new ways of perceiving these relationships to make the city a more connected and livable place for all.
