An innovative proposal that is coherently set on an Andean slope, and that can be replicated in wood and conceived as a stilt building that can sit on any territory, with three envelope alternatives for cold, temperate, and warm climates, won in the “Ideas Competition for the Design of Learning Spaces”, organized by the Development […]
A team of architects from three Colombian universities has won an international competition with their innovative proposal, "Ecosystem School." The winning design, which was conceived on an Andean slope and can be replicated in wood, features stilt buildings that can adapt to various terrains and climates. The competition, organized by the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) and the Pan American Federation of Architects' Associations (FPAA), aimed to promote innovative architectural solutions for learning spaces.
The "Ecosystem School" proposal, led by architect and landscape architect Diana Wiesner Ceballos and her students from UNAL, UNLP, and UPJ, emphasizes a multigenerational learning model that integrates the landscape as the pedagogical infrastructure. The school's flexible micro-spaces, made of standardized commercial wood modules, promote collective knowledge-building and outdoor learning experiences.
