What is Taller del Río?
It is a summer workshop organized by the Escuela Superior de Arquitectura Avanzada [ESAA] and the architecture firm [Ciudad Portátil] in Neiva, Colombia. The workshop aims to rethink new interactions within public space through experimental practices and the participatory construction of an ephemeral or semi-permanent installation that engages with its surroundings and reflects on being, belonging, and inhabiting the city of the Magdalena River.
For this edition of Taller del Río, we are pleased to host Xavier Duque, Nicolás Viteri, and María Reinoso, founders of the architecture firm El Sindicato Arquitectura. Their projects have been featured in media outlets such as ArchDaily, Gestalten, Designboom, and the BBC. Furthermore, they were selected for the Young Architects in Latin America exhibition and were winners of the Building of the Year award in the "small scale and installations" category, as well as the 2020 Holcim Awards.
