Colombia offers architects and designers a rare opportunity to study how thoughtful design can drive real civic transformation. In Bogotá, explore the work of renowned architect Rogelio Salmona and the historic La Candelaria district, experience Ciclovía — the weekly program that closes major streets to traffic and has inspired similar 'open streets' initiatives in over 400 cities worldwide — and tour K-12 school buildings designed for excellence by acclaimed architect Daniel Bonilla. In Medellín, trace the city's globally recognized model of social urbanism — public libraries, cable cars, and community spaces that turned once-marginalized neighborhoods into symbols of resilience and renewal. This is a professional expedition for architects ready to see, firsthand, how design can build bridges between communities.
