Co-direction of the Urban Design Festival
From 21 to 24 June 2018, Pontevedra hosted the first edition of Experimenta Pontevedra: four days in which public space was transformed in order to seek out uses that enhance imagination and play.
Pontevedra, which has received the UN Habitat Award for its pedestrian urban model, has in recent years become a model for many cities: within 15 years, more than 70% of urban travel is now done on foot or by bicycle.
As such, Experimenta Pontevedra is part of this urban development strategy. Once the pedestrianisation of the centre has become successful and normalised, the aim is to promote a public space that enhances the imagination and play of its users.
The Festival is a project organised by the Pontevedra City Council, coordinated and curated by Santos and Mera Arquitectos (José Santos and José Mera) and Javier Peña Ibáñez, which seeks to provoke a series of collaborative processes that connect art, architecture and design to the urban area through, through the attraction spaces available in the municipality.
Five teams took part in this edition: Diogo Aguiar Studio, CUAC Arquitectura, OLA Estudio, Xoan Anleo and the team formed by Luis Bernardo, Sergio González, Felipe Langa, Enrique Mansilla and Maximiliano Martín.
