Informal cities are a reality around the world, where communities lack potable water and sewage systems, causing an unconscious use of local natural resources. As a result, the project River Stations, proposes a public infrastructure composed of (3) small stations along rivers, with the aim of fostering new relationships between people and natural resources.. Their program exhibits, first, spaces based on local expressions of community appropriation like graffiti, breakdance and gardens. Secondly, a functional water cleaning system station that raise awareness about environmental conservation.
