Bogota Centro
How might we stimulate growth in a shifting urban fabric?
Bogota Centro is the most significant urban intervention in Bogotá to date, rethinking how citizens relate to their city through an integrated framework of metabolic architecture and distributive networks. Located on a 72-hectare former brewery site, the master plan embraces Bogotá’s dynamic urban character by creating finely balanced zones of built and unbuilt space that enable growth, resilience, and regenerative development.

The design organizes the site into a constellation of micro-neighborhoods, each defined by mixed-use buildings and anchored by public open spaces—squares framed by office towers, parks coupled with schools, and community gardens interwoven into the landscape. These eco-industrialized neighborhoods are linked by a varied road network that adapts to function and scale, integrating the new plan with the surrounding street grid and adjacent older districts.

This approach applies energy-conscious and resilient strategies to promote density while preserving quality of life, and foregrounds regenerative health by prioritizing social interaction and access to green space. By weaving together ecological, infrastructural, and social threads, Bogota Centro charts a sustainable, adaptable path for the city’s ongoing transformation.
