This Saturday, December 15, marks the launch of the first edition of Envolvente magazine, a publication dedicated to promoting and recognizing local architecture by fostering critical discourse and opinion on relevant topics in architecture, design, and urbanism. Envolvente creates a space for critical reading, as we believe that architecture is defined not only by its imagery but also by its underlying argument.

From March 15 to May 30, the Archivo de Bogotá is hosting the exhibition and seminar "Modern Heritage: Architecture, City, and Photography." This event of national and international interest brings together two exhibitions that highlight the urban and architectural heritage value of modernity, in which photography plays a prominent role in its dissemination: "Bogotá Through the Lens of 10 Photographers" (Curators: Maria Pia Fontana, Miguel Mayorga, Margarita Roa) and "The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier: An Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement. The 17 Works Declared World Heritage Sites" (Curators: María Cecilia O’Byrne, Ingrid Quintana, Ricardo Daza).

Authors Mauricio Gaviria Restrepo and Luis Guillermo Hernández Vázquez will be in conversation with Luis Fernando González Escobar. All are professors at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Medellín campus.

The publication "Tres exposiciones, tres juegos" captures El Equipo Mazzanti's experience at the 2015 Chicago Architecture Biennial, the 2016 Milan Triennale, and the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale. The book details the conceptualization of these exhibitions through texts, diagrams, plans, and photographs that highlight the specific interests of El Equipo Mazzanti.

This biographical publication functions as both a project catalog and a personal archive.
