Don Luis Traffic signal

“Many countries have begun to implement policies to encourage walking as an important mode of transport. Pedestrian risk is increased when roadway design fail to plan for and provide traffic control mechanisms that separate pedestrians from vehicles. Traffic crashes in general are estimated to cost between 1 and 2% of gross national product” (WHO). Don Luis is a 3D traffic signal that binds to a yellow 2D line painted on the sidewalk to avoid the pedestrian cross the street at a different place to zebra. Designed with a sociocultural analysis and not merely from aesthetic guidelines.

CasBeVilla Team

Since he was a child, Daniel R. Villa Balbín has always kept the perspective of being a proactive person in terms of new project developments; the Colombian tradition (especially in Medellín city) always has been to be hard workers or "arrieros", and of course, he has adopted those genes from his families. Colegio San José de la Salle and UPB University also have given him strong ethical values that helped him to create an integral professional. Playing soccer, going to the gym and taking a shower, have helped him to find ideas.
