The book 'El dominio de la envolvente. La transformación de la fachada profunda' (Mastering the Envelope: The Transformation of the Deep Façade) highlights the spatial and technical exploration surrounding the development of the building envelope in representative examples of Colombian modern architecture. Through documentary and historical research, the book presents a timeline that intersects projects, figures, and events that influenced the transformation of the façade. This intentional perspective reveals specific strategies adopted by various architects across different cities in the country, while simultaneously uncovering the defining characteristics of local modern architecture.
Architecture, as an act of human cultural artifice, has historically maintained an indissoluble relationship with Nature—as a site, enclave, environment, material, or mirror of the habitat for communal life, and as a factor of language. Both the symbolic tradition—monument, tomb, idol—and the typological tradition—temple, hut, theater, palace—form the basis of the elemental corpus of Vitruvian formulation. Whatever the artifact to be built, the natural condition is unavoidable. Fire, water, earth, and air—the elements that compose the universe according to ancient philosophy—are, in turn, constitutive of architectural thought. However, arrogance, success, or disruption over pre-existing conditions have dominated human behavior toward Nature. The current state of extreme intervention on the Earth as a planet, on geography as a foundation, on climate as a resource, or on the atmosphere as a domain, demands a critical review of the diverse perspectives that architecture has adopted according to historical, political, and cultural contingencies and their consequences on lifestyles.
Aesthetics, as a reflection on the image, cannot be understood as an immutable discipline. The perception of aesthetic values—whether related to beauty or ugliness, harmony or imbalance—has historically been determined by social, scientific, or philosophical conditions.

This book compiles the reflections of four academics from various national universities on the city, urbanism, public space, mobility, and transportation. It is the result of "Conversaciones al costado del camino," a series of interviews developed by Corporación Pedaleable in collaboration with Ediciones de Arquitectura in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, literature on sustainable mobility and urban planning from everyday, interdisciplinary perspectives is scarce and not widely disseminated. This is what motivated us to reach out to various figures in academia, public policy, and urban practice to discuss and exchange ideas regarding the issues surrounding these concepts.

It may not be your first instinct when entering a building to consider how it makes you feel, but architecture has always had a big impact on emotions. Different spaces are designed to make its inhabitants feel different things; offices can make you feel energised and productive, art galleries can make you feel thoughtful and curious, and museums can make you feel calm and intrigued. Each of these spaces are completely different from each other and are far more than just a building.
