design firm godoylab has created service areas for the ruta peregrino pilgrim route
in jalisco, mexico. the issues they prioritized were: water, waste, shade, restrooms
and wayfinding.

due to the length of the route, the varying climates from one point to the next and the
variations within the terrain they proposed to design a series of independent elements
that may be modified and adapted to different contexts and needs throughout the route.

the pre fabricated structures that when erected involve a lower impact on the local
environment. the on-site activities would only include module assembly, digging pits
for the restrooms and anchoring the structures to the site.

the projects specifies sanitation and water management technologies that are
independent from municipal grids (electrical, water, sewerage, etc.), due to
the infrastructural inaccessibility of some ot the service area intervention points.
