Given the current circumstances, students from the School of Architecture at the Universidad del Valle in Colombia have taken on the responsibility of being part of the change and creating spaces to reflect on our society through the forum "City Transformation and Reconstruction: Setting Precedents for Change."
As part of ‘Del territorio al Detalle’, an academic forum for dialogue and reflection that brings together architecture faculty, students, and renowned architects, the spin-off “Del territorio al detalle .re” explores—through informal conversations with key figures—the thesis that a territory’s richness stems from its capacity for renewal. By activating disused spaces, these areas can transform into both challenges and resources.

As every architect and professional working in the building industry knows, construction is a labor intensive and time consuming process. Expected difficulties with construction and installation can be compounded by unforeseen delays caused by mechanical errors, political or economic circumstances, or even weather. As such, some of the best construction products on the market work to minimize installation times and labor. BŌK Modern's Structurally Integrated Metal Panel System, for example, reduces installation time in the field and minimizes redundant supporting structural elements, which allows for savings in both materials and in the high cost of field labor. At the same time, their panel system provides superior customizability, making them ideal for a variety of different architectural and construction needs.

What is a prison? Prison is a place where inmates are confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state as punishment for various crimes.
But is this all to a prison? Can’t prison serve to be more than just a set up to punish the convicts?
Recidivism is not a very rare occurrence. It's time to put out the question, why? Why do convicts go back to their old means as soon as they are released from the prison? Why are prisons failing to contribute to society?

We can consider “architecture” everything that has already been designed and/or built. That would define a realm of conventional solutions, often repeated in a self-referential system. We imagined a counterpart, a “non architecture”. A world of unexplored designs and countless possibilities, that if found, could enlarge and change permanently the boundaries of architecture. A universe of chances and opportunities never challenged by architects before. A limitless field of investigation that includes everything that is not architecture, yet.
