LA POBLADA CULTURAL LANGUAGE CENTRE, MEDELLIN Directed by: Arch. Luis Guillermo Hernández Vásquez; Arch. Gabriel Jaime Obando López Co-author: Rebeca David Sanchez Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2022
The building project is located in the neighbourhood El Poblado, Medellin, where most of the foreigners and tourists are accommodated, simultaneously where many of the cultural initiatives are emerging. Nevertheless, the index of a second language proficiency (English) in Colombia has one of the lowest levels in Latin America, hampering an effective cultural exchange for Colombian locals in the different areas, personal, professional and academic. Paradoxically there is a big disconnection to the rest of 69 native spoken languages in the nation as well. This project seeks to solve it from architecture discipline by giving an appropiate space where both foreign and native languages shall converge.
