Building technology, as a necessary instrument for the conception and construction of habitable places, traces the limitations and possibilities of the materials used in the conformation of architectural space.

The students are asked to resolve the connection with the city by using different design strategies which will give continuity to the public space in an area defined by the road infrastructure.

2018 / In this case the students should reprogram Central Park’s surface which hypothetically was left as a vast residual space (terrain vague).

To further elaborate on the idea of the gated community architecture, a series of different examples among themselves were briefly analyzed with the intent to gather information on the definition of a gated community in Bogotá.

As an extension of the investigation project ISLAND CITY/CIUDAD ISLA, on this occasion we are interested in the architecture of the enclave already present in the urban fabric of Bogotá, and in its possibilities for improvement.

2018 / During this semester the design course will study and intervene different areas of Bogotá that present a direct relation to the city’s water systems.

Pet Bogotá intends to shift the focus towards the potential of human activity, away from the hegemony of the preestablished program when dealing with the problem of architectural design.

The students are asked to resolve the connection with the city by using different design strategies which will give continuity to the public space in an area defined by the road infrastructure (Parque Simón Bolivar roundabout).

2017 / During the second semester of 2017, the design course will study and intervene different areas of Bogotá that present a direct relation to the metropolitan transport systems.

The students are asked to resolve, by means of a soft infrastructure design proposal, a water management strategy in a public space.

Each student will be assigned a partial area of the Van der Hammen Reserve to apply one or several of the design strategies acquired from previous lessons.

2015-2017 / A ceiling, as its definition suggests, refers to the notion of interior spatial limits, whereas the term roof would focus our attention to a view from outside.

2016 / During the first semester of this semester, the design course will study and intervene the southern part of the first metro line for Bogotá as planned in 2015.

2015 / The field of operation is Traditional Downtown in Bogotá, which limits could be broaden depending on the findings and opportunities identified during the extend of the course.

Convive is a student competition that annually invites architecture schools from Colombia and other Latin American countries to contribute innovative and viable solutions to contemporary challenges of housing, habitat and regional design.

2013 / During the course, the students can develop design proposals at different urban scales and different uses such as: Urban renewal, Civic Center or housing projects.

2012 / The faculty decided that all the projects of the Advanced Units should be located within the “Triángulo de Fenicia”, a triangular city district in which the University is actively involved with different types of projects (academic, social and urban regeneration).
