Children Activity Book on Road Safety
Analysis and redesign of an avenue and a street that are intersected through a road safety inspection and a mobility assessment in Lima, Peru. Also, a model used for microsimulating the current flow and the proposed design was developed.
The proposed design included a traffic control system, the inclusion of tactile paving, sound emitting traffic lights, crosswalkings at the same level, curbside ramps with 5% of slope, reduction of number of lanes, use of chicanes at 30 km/h street and vertical signs for neurodivergence on the traffic lights.
As a result, the design optimized the flow and guaranteed the accessibility for everyone.The microsimulation allowed to compare efficiency parameters between the proposal and the current design.
Intersection Redesign Winner Proposal in the Bicycle Architecture Biennal
Urban design proposal for the enhancement of an intersection in Lima, where the current configuration gives priority to cars over people and cyclists and to private vehicles over public transport.
The proposed design consists of the redesign of the two avenues that compose the intersection.
For the Salaverry Avenue, a tramway line was designed, as well as the relocation of the bike paths to the side and a pedestrian recreational path in the median. For the Ejército Avenue, an only bus lane for a BRT was proposed and the design of bike paths on the sides of the avenue.
Design Thinking Applied to Public Spaces
Research of public life and public spaces, and the proposal and test of Design Thinking methodology to design public spaces, specially streets. The research aimed to recover the value of streets as public spaces, since they are usually seen more as routes of transport than places where public life could unfold.
The case of study was the main street of Moquegua, Peru. As a result of the redesign using Design Thinking, a user-centered design methodology, the pedestrianization of the street was proposed. The prototype was successfully tested with support of the municipality. It received a public acknowledgment by the Mayor for its innovative approach.
Road Safety Assessment, Children Workshop and Report
This project focused on assessing road safety around two Nairobi schools, Moi Avenue Primary and Muthurwa Primary, with the aim of identifying risks and gathering insights to improve children’s mobility. It combined site assessments, workshops with children, and interviews with parents and teachers to better understand the safety challenges faced by young pedestrians. Through participatory activities, the project highlighted key issues such as inadequate infrastructure, crowded sidewalks, and high-speed traffic, while also capturing children’s visions for safer school zones.
Participated gathering data from street assessments, workshop findings, and developed recommendations for improving road safety. Worked on the design and participated in the content of the publication, which integrates the previous findings.
The creation of a children’s activity book on road safety aims to educate young learners on safe behaviors and practices in an engaging and interactive way. Packed with activities such as puzzles, coloring pages, and stories, the book is designed to teach children about the importance of pedestrian rules, traffic signs, and safe crossing practices, making the learning process fun and memorable. Its relevance lies in fostering early awareness and empowering children to navigate streets safely.
Developed the design of the activity book and participated in the content, ensuring it was both educational and visually appealing. By combining clear messaging with creative illustrations and engaging formats, helped create a resource that can be used in schools, homes, and community programs to promote road safety among children.
This project focuses on creating child-friendly urban environments through playful, low-cost, and sustainable street design. The guideline provides practical strategies and design principles to transform streets into vibrant, inclusive spaces that prioritize children’s well-being while benefiting entire communities. By integrating insights from global best practices, the publication serves as a resource for urban planners, policymakers, and community leaders to reimagine cities with children at the center.
Developed both the content and the visual design of the guideline, which encompassed crafting clear, engaging materials and designing the art and layout, ensuring the publication is both visually compelling and accessible to a wide audience.
