Taller Creando Sin Encargos: Puerta De Tierra

A collaborative community design project in San Juan’s Puerta de Tierra, responding to gentrification and the lack of accessible public infrastructure. Together with residents, the team built a functional bus station with rainwater collection for an adjacent community-run space that hosted book exchanges and film nights. The design confronted hostile architecture—critiquing seating built to exclude unhoused people, which also failed the elderly and children—reclaiming public space through care and collective use.
