ALCALDIA DE TEUSAQUILLO

MAYOR'S OFFICE OF TEUSAQUILLO – Bogotá, Colombia – Design Competition

​

The proposal envisions a contemporary building that promotes social interaction, recognition, and civic belonging. Public areas are located near pedestrian access points, integrating the exterior with the interior through transparency and spatial relationships. The upper floors are restricted to officials, with the mayor's office on the eighth floor.

​

CONCEPTUAL BASIS

The building aims to meet two conditions of contemporary offices: "Corporate Experience" and "Platform for Information Exchange."

OFFICE AS CORPORATE EXPERIENCE

Modern offices project the essence of the organization through their design elements, transmitting the institution's image and history to employees and visitors.

​

OFFICE AS A PLATFORM FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE

Flexible, modern office spaces facilitate interdisciplinary information exchange and can be easily transformed. This open, flexible concept is applied to floors 5, 6, 7, and 8.
