Considered a heritage of the modern movement in Colombia, the Colpatria Tower rises in the San Diego sector of the renowned International Center of Bogotá. With 50 floors and a height of 196 meters, it was the tallest building in the country for many years until the construction of the BD Bacatá in 2016, also in Bogotá. The implementation of innovative construction techniques and its location at the intersection of two major arterial roads of the capital - Carrera Séptima and Avenida El Dorado (Calle 26) - made it an architectural landmark of the city. Its sober and assertive design contributed an unprecedented pattern to the urban profile in the 1970s.

Talking about the Gold Museum means discussing an ambitious project resolved through simple design principles and sobriety. Inaugurated in 1968, this building, located on the eastern side of Santander Park, aims to establish itself as a humble capsule that intrigues visitors and takes them on a captivating journey through the world of Colombian artisanal skills.

The Gold Museum establishes an architectural parallelism with the Church of San Francisco de Asis (1567) located across the street, conveying the raw purity of the material in front of the city through the expression of its facades,  ultimately leading to the radiant burst of light that emanates from the very heart of the volume.
