EB 12- Colombian Architecture
En Blanco 12. Colombian Architecture offers an approach to Colombian architecture through a reading that connects modern tradition, local context, and generational evolution. As part of the magazine’s series devoted to exposed concrete architecture in different countries, the issue shows how Colombian architecture has developed its own identity through the dialogue between international influences, climatic conditions, and a strong material culture.
The opening texts frame this survey in relation to Le Corbusier’s Plan for Bogotá, the consolidation of modern architecture in Colombia, and the work of figures such as Rogelio Salmona and Germán Samper. From there, the publication brings together projects and reflections that reveal both the continuity and transformation of this tradition in contemporary architects and studios such as Giancarlo Mazzanti, Daniel Bonilla, Plan B, and Ana Elvira Vélez.
The issue pays particular attention to the role of concrete and brick as fundamental materials in Colombian architecture, understood not only as constructive systems but also as instruments of expression and adaptation to place. The result is a publication that offers a broad view of recent Colombian architecture, understood as a critical continuation of modernity and as a specific response to its cultural and territorial context.
