Description

The Research Group on History and Theory of Latin American Architecture (Gistal), linked to the PhD in Art and Architecture and the Master's Degree in History and Theory of Art, Architecture and the City of the Faculty of Arts of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, have included as part of the collection Homenaje a Arquitectos en Bogotá a study on Pablo de la Cruz Yepes (Medellín, 1893 - Bogotá, 1954), an Antioquia native architect, educated in Chile and professionally established in Bogota. He was the contemporary of a generation of architects who during the decades between the celebration of the first centenary of independence and the creation of the Special District of Bogotá enthusiastically promoted discussions on architecture and urbanism, struggled to translate their ideas into the country's public works and sought with eager aim to define a statute proper to the discipline in Colombia." (HKB Translation)--Page 13. Most of the architectural works of architect De la Cruz have disappeared, only some remain standing.
