The first public assembly of Architecture on Strike (Arquitectura en Paro) seeks to foster an open space where we can collectively engage in pedagogy and discussion regarding the role architecture should play within the current social, economic, and political crisis in Colombia.

The editorial team at the Universidad del Norte, led by Óscar Ángel Ángel and Rossana Llanos Díaz, has shared with ArchDaily their compilation project on the modern work of architect Roberto Acosta Madiedo. Below are some of his most iconic projects in the city of Barranquilla from the mid-twentieth century.

Floresta 5, located in northern Bogotá, Colombia, sits adjacent to the lot of Floresta 3, directly in the foreground of the latter's primary view. Built in 1986, it is an exemplary residential design within a housing development, conceived in dialogue with the preexisting building next door, which was also designed by Baresch.

Built in 1983 in the Eastern Hills north of Bogotá, the Floresta 3 house was the first of Baresch's residential projects to feature exposed adobe. To achieve this level of supreme craftsmanship within the building system, the adobe blocks were manufactured on-site, honoring the natural context of the project, where earth and vegetation take center stage.

The Cali Secretariat of Culture, through the Undersecretariat of Heritage, Libraries, and Cultural Infrastructure, is pleased to invite you to the presentation of the Architectural Guide to the Historic Center of Cali, as part of its commitment to valuing and promoting the city's heritage.
