Site : Bogota, Colombia
Programme : regional design
Type : research commission
The border between the megacity Bogota and the surrounding small rural municipalities is defined by the Bogota River. Along the river a tension exists, based in conflicting political and planning interests, leading to a situation of no collaboration between the two sides. Through meetings with city and regional governmental representatives, important local architects and academic experts, we formulated a proposal for a new platform for communication between the parties. The research will continue in 2012 with a series of workshops leading to planning proposals for four test sites.
