Re-Designing the Casa Museo Ismael Rivera Park
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe Casa Museo Ismael Rivera is a ‘house museum’ that highlights the legacy of Ismael Rivera, a renowned salsa singer born in Santurce, Puerto Rico. The Casa Museo Ismael Rivera’s front yard hosted large community events to celebrate Ismael Rivera’s life and impact on Puerto Rican culture but was damaged during Hurricane Maria. Our project was to clean the front yard and to engage with the local community surrounding the Casa Museo Ismael Rivera using participatory design events to create visions for transforming the yard into a community pocket park. Through these participatory design activities, we created a portfolio displaying strong community-made park designs, a participatory design toolkit, and a cost estimation tool.
