<p>This will be a new home for the university’s school of sustainable design, located on the existing campus in central Bogotá.</p> <p>The seven-storey building sits on Calle 72, one of the city’s main arteries, with the front façade made up of colourful, crafted columns and open terraces. The design pays homage to the local craft traditions including Werregue basketry, a form of weaving unique to Colombia’s Wounaan indigenous community.</p> <p>The studio’s ambition is for students to feel proud of their campus before they even enter the building, arriving through a public square that offers passers-by a welcoming communal oasis amidst the hard urban surroundings.</p> <p>The building will serve as a new centre for the campus, complementing the existing heritage structures on the site, and providing a rare new public space in the city. The design team is also working on innovative façade materials to deal with the high levels of sunlight at this altitude and ensure the longevity of the building.</p> <p>Colombia is the world’s second most biodiverse country and Bogotá is considered one of the leading cities for sustainable development. Universidad EAN’s ambition is to celebrate this by bringing the cloud forest, which surrounds the country’s capital, to the building. The studio’s biophilic design will incorporate local plant species on the open terraces and usher in nature to the metropolis as part of the pledges made by the city as a signatory to the C40 Urban Nature Declaration.</p> <p>This will be the studio’s first project to go to construction in South America, with works expected to start in 2025.</p> </div> </div> <div class="description-content hidden-lg-up" style=""> <div class="description-wrap" style="position: absolute;top: 100px;left: 100px;width: 75%;padding-bottom: 50px"> <p>In 2024, the studio was appointed to create a design school and makers’ space for Universidad Ean in Colombia.</p> <p>This will be a new home for the university’s school of sustainable design, located on the existing campus in central Bogotá.</p> <p>The seven-storey building sits on Calle 72, one of the city’s main arteries, with the front façade made up of colourful, crafted columns and open terraces.
