ENVOLVENTE is a concept representing everything that shelters and makes visible the final idea of a work—that skin that comforts and wraps the building and the space itself. It can be rigid, permeable, light or heavy, flexible, evocative, and avant-garde. As the face shown to the world, the envelope is ultimately the most plastic and pure expression of architecture.
ENVOLVENTE is a printed magazine focused on architecture, criticism, and design. It aims to showcase architectural exercises that generate social impact, competition projects, degree theses, and built works of various scales that highlight the current vitality of Colombian architecture. It incorporates necessary criticism through timeless and proactive writing that sparks debate about the profession and the environment in which we live.
