This issue features Colombian architect, Sim???n V???lez. He received his architectural education in Colombia and founded his studio in 1972. Having invented the use of bamboo as a structural material by filling it with cement mortar, V???lez has gained international reputation for his designs using bamboo. He believes that architecture should incorporate more plants (vegetarian), and his work is seen to use a diversity of natural materials. Local vegetal materials - such as Guadua bamboo native to South America, Moso bamboo from Asia, and local wood like Ariso, Alboroco, and Eucalyptus - are used to maximize the restrictions and limitations of materials. Conscientious with the materials and site, he continues to create structurally rational buildings. Text in English and Japanese.
