archi literature: red green yellow city
Colombia
Inscriptions are possible until 1 March 2025.
Not least because of such striking figures as Le Corbusier, Rogelio Salmona and mayors Mockus and Peñalosa, Bogotá has become the fascinating city it is today. On the mountain-surrounded sabana, a metropolis of red skyscrapers has risen amid abundant green spaces.
Like Bogotá, this second largest city in Colombia possesses a legacy of modernist architecture and a cadre of young architects such as Simón Vélez, Daniel Bonilla, Camacho y Guerrero, Juan Pablo Ortiz and Giancarlo Mazzanti who are being diligently nurtured and promoted.
If you asked architects and planners for proof of the power of public architecture and open space, they would point to these cities. Indeed, thanks to (landscape) architecture, murder rates in Bogotá and Medellín have been reduced to one-sixth.
