Raising the Ground and Lowering the Sky to Create an Ecological Node for the City
An urban ecosystem integrating territory, campus, and life.

The proposal for the new laboratories at Universidad Javeriana envisions the campus as a bridge between the mountain and the city, generating a network of interconnected open spaces that link urban life with the foothills of Bogotá’s main geographical landmark. This strategy enables green flows from the east and a monumental ascent towards the mountain, starting from the iconic Carrera Séptima.

The project creates a major ecological corner where the Arzobispo River meets the National Park, forming the main natural gateway from the eastern hills into the urban center. This point is understood as a major urban node where key avenues, urban ecosystems, and social dynamics converge.

The design proposes a true urban ecosystem, reconnecting territory, campus, and technology into a continuous living experience of space and time, integrating landscape, academic activity, and daily life into a unified, vibrant whole.
