The affirmation of modern architecture in Colombia, around the 1930s, counted on the contribution of European architects and engineers who arrived in the country in different circumstances who, together with Colombian professionals trained abroad, led the change of direction in architecture and in urban planning. Starting from the reconstruction of the reference framework, the book aims to deepen the relationship between the European contribution and the Colombian context, analyzing the figure and work of the Italian architect Bruno Violi (Milan, 1909 - Bogotá, 1971). Four buildings built in Bogotá between 1950 and 1960 are presented as case studies, to clarify the transversal form through which Violi interpreted this dialectical exchange, combining his European experiences with some key themes of the Colombian architectural debate, such as the importance of technology and the interpretation of the geographical and cultural environment.

L’affermazione dell’architettura moderna in Colombia, intorno agli anni Trenta, contò sull’apporto di architetti e ingegneri europei arrivati nel paese in diverse circostanze che, insieme a professionisti colombiani formatisi all’estero, guidarono il cambio di direzione in architettura e in urbanistica. Partendo dalla ricostruzione del quadro di riferimento, il volume si propone di approfondire la relazione tra contributo europeo e contesto colombiano, analizzando la figura e l’opera dell’architetto italiano Bruno Violi (Milano, 1909-Bogotá, 1971). Quattro edifici realizzati a Bogotá tra il 1950 e il 1960 sono presentati come casi di studio, per chiarire la forma trasversale attraverso la quale Violi si fece interprete di tale scambio dialettico, coniugando il bagaglio di esperienze che costruì in Europa con alcuni temi chiave del dibattito architettonico colombiano, come l’importanza della tecnica e l’interpretazione dell’ambiente geografico e culturale.

Abstract

The affirmation of modern architecture in Colombia, around the 1930s, counted on the contribution of European architects and engineers who arrived in the country in different circumstances who, together with Colombian professionals trained abroad, led the change of direction in architecture and in urban planning. Starting from the reconstruction of the reference framework, the book aims to deepen the relationship between the European contribution and the Colombian context, analyzing the figure and work of the Italian architect Bruno Violi (Milan, 1909 - Bogotá, 1971). Four buildings built in Bogotá between 1950 and 1960 are presented as case studies, to clarify the transversal form through which Violi interpreted this dialectical exchange, combining his European experiences with some key themes of the Colombian architectural debate, such as the importance of technology and the interpretation of the geographical and cultural environment.
