Lead ArchitectSergio Mutis

HAMBO is an experimental multidimensional project for socially vulnerable population in Bogota, Colombia. Grounded on an in-depth 3-year study of the marginal neighborhoods of Bolonia, Usme, and on Complexity Theory, this project challenges Colombia’s simple social-housing monetary-cap policies with an alternative complex strategy system. By fusing urban connectivity, flexibility, collective management, productivity, participative design and informal spatial strategies, HAMBO is able to conceive and fund an innovative, complete, mixed-use, resilient, and interdisciplinary housing solution.
