The strategic focus of the 29th Colombian Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism centers on the importance of viewing HABITAT as a fundamental right of the citizenry. The way we live and use our environment must contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and nature; however, reality confronts us with a critical situation. In many of our cities and urban developments, the urgent need for environmental solutions and strategies that align with existing ecological structures is evident.
