This Case Study is located along the Paseo de la Princesa in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. This paseo, or promenade, runs along the base of the historic city walls of Old San Juan, the oldest planned city in the west- ern hemisphere, and is used annually by thousands of tourists and residents alike. 

The paseo was built in the mid 1990’s as part of a strategy of cultural restoration and is planned to eventually continue around the entire city. Situated adjacent to San Juan Harbor, the paseo is subject to harsh conditions including sun, wind, salt, spray, and flooding.
