La Placita de Pavas is a public space designed by the FUNdaMENTAL group in collaboration with the Pavas community. Open to all, La Placita serves as a venue for community events, fun, games, and education.
The project was made possible by Hector Anchía, who invited the FUNdaMENTAL program to work on the urban intervention of this space. Come play, enjoy, or chat with your neighbors! Everyone is welcome here. You are invited to continue enjoying, working, and maintaining La Placita and its surroundings, today and in the future.
The Wall of Pavas
Borders the vacant plot, showcasing the faces of locals. Recognizing themselves and friends in this project reflects the strong sense of community among the Paveños.
La Placita
Transforms into a meeting point, stage, and hub for social gatherings. Games unite people of different ages on the Placita, enhanced by lighting for increased security, and vibrant colours contribute to its cheerful character.
The materials:
Used for the construction were repurposed materials and objects found on-site, such as the container shaping the climbing wall of the Placita. A locally hired construction team helped us to level and pave the floor, as well as to construct the stairs.
