LOOP is envisioned as an extension of the pedestrian-accessible highway, transforming what some perceive as a scar in the Bixiga neighborhood into a vibrant community space.

The highway, currently closed to vehicles and open for pedestrian use on weekends, is a popular spot for residents to stroll or sunbathe. Responding to the community’s desire to reimagine the area, LOOP extends this walkway to provide an additional route. This extension not only offers a relaxed pathway and places to rest, but also grants access to the amenities of the community center and theater school. Situated adjacent to Teatro Oficina, LOOP highlights this iconic building while inviting pedestrians to enjoy leisurely strolls and admire the cultural richness of the surrounding area.
