Valencia, España.

The project propose the construction of a fictitious institution -The Tourist Office for Undocumented Migrants. The office is focused on providing informations about the closest territory to people who migrate out of necessity and don ́t have documents. The institution is supposed to help them in situations, in which denies they don ́t have opportunity to access any other type of support or service from local authorities. The project is built from various strategies, that are bringing back to life knowledge that migrants were using to survive in the conditions of mobility.
The project was divided in three main actions: designing a tourist map that helps migrants to obtain basic resources such as food, water, housing, a place to take a shower, and health care services, and to serve as a guide to move around the city more easily; implementation of system of signs, that can be used by migrants for establishing communication between them, and which could serve as a tool to mark the territory; designing a manual of constructing a shelter for refugees, which contains recommendations on how to build your own shack. The manual was based on the constructions, that already existed in the area of the circuit F1 in Valencia.
