The adaptability of materials to the context, local talent, and participatory workshops that lead to a community design with children and caregivers are the core principles of LAPIS.
In the first phase of LAPIS, from January to May 2022, the first 10 of 30 planned for 2022 were built, designed to meet the needs of ten diverse communities around Mexico and eight different typologies: School pedestrian crossing, School playground, Urban garden, Rural park, Urban park, Bicycle school, and Nature Reserve.
