As part of our commitmenet to healthy urbanism, we created the Sustainable Urban Laboratory, better known as Lab US. These laboratories operate as pop-up spaces in Uribe Schwarzkopf´s vacant properties. For severeal months, they offert the community a free space for share activities – where architects, designers, entrepreneurs, urban artists and others promote their work, create solutions to the sustainability challenges that Quito faces, through free space for the promotion of their products, coworking spaces, workshops and lectures.
Lab US has been a platform in which the National Organization of Architecture Students positions new actores and ideas, its has also becomen a demonstation of how community – building can give life to new urban interventions.
