Exhibiting Architecture in Colombia: A History Under Construction

Abstract

From temporary pavilions at international expositions to travelling exhibitions at art galleries to experimental displays in biennials and triennials, exhibiting architecture has become both a professional practice and an object of research. Some geographies remain absent within this burgeoning field, however, ignoring the connections of these architectural events with different disciplines, actors and networks. This paper recovers a century-long history of architectural exhibitions in Bogotá, acknowledging the display of architecture as a relevant aspect of Colombian architectural history, playing a vital role in the dissemination of architectural culture in Latin America.
