Description
Summary:"Lorenzo Castro has taken a material often considered unforgiving in nature, and transformed it into a symbol of creativity and playfulness. [...] The private institution of EAFIT University has occupied the east bank of the Medellin, the river that divides the city, since the 1970s. Because of the constraints of the passing Autopista Regional and metro, the campus has grown hermetically. On its isolated campus, a series of landscaped environments have been developed in response to poor surrounding conditions. The rector of the university wanted these parks to become places of interaction and act as an extension of learning spaces."
