Architectural Intervention at the Archaeological

Discovery: 'El Chorro de San Camilo»

In the heart of the historic sector of Popayán, during road improvement works on Carrera 8 with Calle 10 in the El Empedrado neighborhood, a historical discovery was made—a witness to the city's past. This structure, known as 'El Chorro,' is intended to be preserved so that residents and visitors alike can learn about its history

The project for the conservation and valorization of this portion of the city's old aqueduct, dating back to 1827, was covered with an archaeological window. This window provides visibility to the artifact and prioritizes pedestrians with wide sidewalks and spatial continuity

Textures and colors are employed as elements of memory, serving to highlight and recollect the layout of the old aqueduct. Additionally, urban furniture carries information about both the aqueduct itself and the surrounding city sector
