The Colombian house can only be defined by its variety and heterogeneity. Like any product of history, it is the result of a long and slow process that begins in the Colony, is revised in its tradition during the Republic, and then subjected to multiple influences from the so-called modernism onward. This edition, updated and expanded with nearly seventy new images and more than fifty pages, allows one to understand the evolution and history of the house throughout Colombia's history. It gathers all trends, with significant examples in the works of the country's most prominent architects. A balance and reflection on a tradition, the book is also a tribute to Colombians' unique affection for the home.
