One of the greatest students of nature is probably Andy Goldsworthy. A British land artist, environmentalist and photographer, his archive of work features hundreds of organic formations that articulate the connection he felt to the soil from which everything grows from chains of daisies to river rocks. In this same frame of mind, our Bogotá project finds its roots in a small but clever campus in Colombia. This school for grades K4 to 12th is a place where children can learn and grow from the natural reserve on which it is situated. Powered literally and figuratively by solar energy, the building’s design is shaped by a sense of grounded levity featuring a learning kitchen that serves as a respite for staff, a theatre workshop for the kid’s imaginative productions, and a verdant garden for those with green thumbs. Featuring a breadth of local materials such as brick and Guadua angustifolia (a type of bamboo known as vegetal steel), we see this project as an exhalation of landscape.
