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.

The 21st-century agenda requires addressing a set of structural changes resulting from the development model that, at least since the beginning of the last century, we have maintained as a society and region. This is evident in our cities and rural areas, where conditions associated with poverty, inequality, violence, displacement, and climate change—to name a few—generate intense pressures, imbalances, and maldevelopment in the dynamics of social occupation and vacancy across much of our territory. We are interested in focusing on a spatial process framed within these dynamics: migration.

At the SCA, we seek to champion the contribution of architecture to social well-being and quality of life, celebrating the efforts made through best practices to understand the needs and desires of local communities and to design spaces that foster inclusion, equality, and social justice.

Throughout history, schools and prisons have shared the same spatial principles, as they were built to discipline and direct their inhabitants and users. However, in recent years, new visions have finally begun to emerge regarding how we should teach within an increasingly less hierarchical and pyramidal system, and how spaces intended to foster the creation and exchange of knowledge should be designed. Simultaneously, educational buildings in Colombia have become increasingly regulated, bringing their design to a level of specialization comparable only to hospital architecture.
