1000 x ARCHITECTURE OF THE AMERICAS -- PART 5

1000 FULL COLOR PAGES OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN THE AMERICAS

Architect Daniel Bonilla describes Edificio Julio Mario Santodomingo building in Bogota, Colombia as:

“The building is conceived as a new element that interconnects the campus of the University, concentrating various programs and integration pedestrian flow spaces like the access plaza and the first-floor gallery.”

“The mixed program that includes parking and post graduate programs is represented in pure and forceful geometry which clearly expresses the duality through the materials used on the façade.”

“This lowers the building’s impact on the area as an intersection of university housing and mixed use.”

"The terrace garden of the upper floors of the building creates welcoming contemplation areas.”

Book review of 1000 x Architecture of the Americas

The book sells for $125.
