71. RUS
A series of chained projects developed by
Basurama and the local cultural-social
collaborators of every iteration of the project.
Every time the project ended with an action or
intervention in the public space, usually
degraded, and was centered in working urban
waste (Basurama 2011).
Funded by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation
(AECID) through the Red de Centros Culturales de la Cooperación Española in
Latin America.

73. Timeline of a RUS project
1. Research trip
-Local Materials, Techniques and Tools
-Intervention spaces
-Urban conflicts
-Contact local agents: artists, neighbors, municipality.
2. Review information and pre-design
-Establish a local main collaborator
3. Intervention trip
-Production: materials, tools.
-Design and co-design: iterations depending on
negotiations, materials and actors
-Construction: Workshop and prototype with locals
-Action/intervention/installation
-Unmount.
74. RUS is based on:
-Reactivation of public space
-Local community
-Waste
-Reuse
76. Local Community
-Wide range of stakeholders
