5. Mockus Methods

Yale School of Architecture Core Studio IV, Spring 2018
LOCATION: Bogota, Colombia
CRITIC: Bimal Mendez
with Alejandro Duran
Fascinated by Mayor Antanas Mockus’ unorthodox interventions in Bogota from 1995-2000, a graphic chronicle of the mayor’s interventions was used to document the consequences of his acts, and their impact on Bogota’s urban condition as a whole.
Mockus’ interventions are represented as objects within the city, while showing their direct impact on their surroundings, representationally taking notes from theme park maps, turning his actions into urban landmarks.
