An Architecture of Mixed Ancestry: The Work of Taller Síntesis and Its Dialogue with Colombia's Diverse Territory

Subscriber Access

A change in the way architecture was practiced in Colombia was necessary, and Taller Síntesis emerged to materialize this transformation. The studio combines a deep understanding of the territory and its context with architectural solutions that translate into materiality and built spaces. Their works stand out for their strong local cultural identity, achieving a precise balance between the preexisting, the new, and harmony with the landscape.

Taller Síntesis is an architecture practice founded in 2008 in Medellín, Colombia, by David Cuartas Restrepo, Lucas Serna Rodas, and Farhid Maya Ramírez. The three architects, graduates of the National University of Colombia in 2003, pursued individual paths, gaining experience abroad and participating in projects and competitions with different teams. Over time, they returned to their hometown to establish the studio as it is known today.
