CHALLENGE A large-scale and complex landscape proposal. The new headquarters of the Colegio Espíritu Santo aims to be a space that promotes "Reggio Emilia" education and other avant-garde methods in pedagogy. On the other hand, the design population includes different age groups and social conditions. It was crucial to consider the natural richness of the location, the presence of a water recharge area, and a stream.
STRATEGY MAPP designed two participatory design workshops that allowed them to engage with users, understand them, and give them a voice in the creative process of such a significant intervention. As a result of these workshops, the project was divided into zones or parks associated with specific areas, yet interconnected with each other.
