Participatory Design Lab

Laboratorio de Diseño Participativo (LDP) looks to accompany Puerto Rican communities in the design and implementation of the projects they need for their development, sustainability and permanence in Puerto Rico.

  • Through a series of Imagination Workshops, Narrative Justice Workshops and collective mapping exercises, La Maraña and community partners collect dreams and ideas for a commonly-elected space.

  • In an iterative and participatory design process, La Maraña and community partners translate the community’s desires into workable construction documents.

  • Leveraging community talents as well as external collaborators, La Maraña supports in materializing the community’s needs and desires into tangible social impact projects.
