Following a year of virtual activities from our event series on the Bauhaus and Latin America, the in-person exhibition "Bauhaus Reverberated" marks a new phase of the initiative with a program that explores heterogeneous formats. The exhibition offers an assessment of the 101 years of the German school of art, architecture, and design founded in Weimar in 1919, and provides an overview of its impact on the Latin American subcontinent by examining the networks of circulation for actors, ideas, and pedagogical models across our continent.

On April 27 at 5:00 p.m., a discussion on Landscape Design, Habitat, and the Tropics will be held as part of the launch activities for our Undergraduate Program in Urban Design and Habitat Management, featuring Brigitte Baptiste, Belinda Tato, Anita Berrizbeitia, and Juan Luis Mejía.

The building of the General Archive of the Nation, designated as a national cultural interest asset by a court ruling in October 2007, reflects the modern archival philosophy and, combined with its collection of historical documents, performs a "miracle" of communicating memory through architecture.

It is hard to achieve a poetic aesthetic when designing archives because they are essentially warehouses, enclosed storage structures, with no sunlight, water, wind, or even dust. In this sense, an archive building is anti-architecture! Even caves need light for us to fully grasp their spatiality. These major limitations could only be overcome through the imagination of a great architect, and above all, through the essential and intrinsic qualities of architecture.
