Author Description

Archipelago is a book that explores the differences and similarities in working procedures, formation and aesthetic and intellectual trends of 7 Colombian architectural firms: Camilo Restrepo arquitectos, Ctrl G, Manuel Villa arquitectura, Mesa Editores, Oficina Informal de Arquitectura, Paisajes Emergentes, and Plan B Arquitectos. Author Miguel Mesa R. describes the edition as "I think the book is a precise structure that reflects the type of work, either independent or in group each studio has been constructing. I would expect it to be clear enough in these two aspects: autonomy and construction of a network of common responsibilities"-- P. 3.
