The document discusses a project to redesign a public space called the "mine" in the Santa Marta slum of Rio de Janeiro that was used mainly for laundry and water collection. The project team mapped the area and observed how it was used to design solutions aligned with community needs and values. Their redesign proposed a communal water tank, tap, pier and shower area, and pool with waterfall, aiming to maximize resource use and promote social integration and community well-being.
