The Colombian firm Arquitectura en Estudio has been awarded the design of the future SuperCADE Manitas in Ciudad Bolívar, a complementary building to the future TransmiCable station in Bogotá, Colombia. Defined by the designers as a "hybrid building" where the facility itself "is public space," the SuperCADE is an integrated service center. Under a single roof, it hosts over 200 public administrative procedures and provides information from district, national, and private entities performing public functions to ensure more effective, streamlined, and timely service.
Arquitectura en Estudio defines the winning proposal as "part of an urban acupuncture strategy that integrates infrastructure elements with representative facilities and public spaces, fostering a sense of ownership and identity among citizens while bridging the gap between the public and the administration."
