Lota Renovación Project Introduction

A group of Carleton University students of industrial design will collaborate with students at George Brown College’s Institute Without Boundaries program in designing solutions for the town of Lota in Chile. This is year two of the IWB project examining the various systems that make up the city as well as the recent earthquake damage of the city of Lota.


Carleton students have joined the students of IWB in this project and have started working on proposal of a holistic revitalization plan for the city that will address basic human needs such as shelter, food, and hygiene while also supporting the city’s goal of long-term economic renewal through tourism and cultural development.
