 Daniel Gabrielli, Carolina Gutiervez Bogotà…y punto! Colombia 2000, 1’16” Bogotá embodies the perplexity of the Latin American metropolis, where chaos and fragmentation generate an uncertain reality. It's a city with 8 million inhabitants, who are victims of serious problems: an accelerated growth of extremely poor outskirts, a center that has become unmanageable for years and which nowadays represents one of the most complicated matters to resolve. The reflection starts from the premise of these cities´ contradiction that consists in the unbalance produced by its accelerated growth versus the lack of infrastructure. This means that the citizen stops being an inhabitant, to convert himself in a passer-by; the analogy that conceived the city as a house, has become anachronistic due to the fact that contemporary world has imposed the individual so complex global interaction processes that practically impedes him or her to create ties with the city. The intention of this analysis was to understand how the city has been affected and has changed its rhythms and urban habits due to the great influence of technology in our lives. The result was a meticulous observation of this phenomenon in Bogotá, through a series of images that manipulate daily reality, not as a simulation system but as an interpretation system. History, memory and tradition, once were brought up by the ideologist architects and now they have become nothing else but discussion modes and false regulations to avoid the question of transition and temporality. In Bogotá we recognize the electronic ties and the areas affected by conditions like traffic jams. One only airport and innumerable traffic problems are obliged references. Today our city abstracts itself from the physical problem and enters the speedy highways of communications. These are our variables, this is our new city. Daniel Gabrielli was the president of the Architecture Student Council of the University of the Andes (1998-99), he graduated with honors in the 2nd semester of 1999 and won the Ramón de Zubiría Scholarship for having the best average of the faculty in 1998.
