Arquitectura Expandida is an activist collective based in Bogotá that collaborates with grassroots movements in the exploration and creation of alternative spaces for citizen participation and self-management in urban peripheral areas. These alliances seek to articulate diverse urban languages with those of urban planning and architecture as a way of bringing decisions about the city closer to those traditionally excluded from these debates. Their repertoires of action move between urban and urbanistic research, collective self-construction, data visualization, and activist art.
Their work has been exhibited and recognized by several international organizations, like the Georges Pompidou Center (2017-2018), The Design Museum of London (2016-2017) the Royal Academy of Arts in London (2018), The Headlands Center for the Arts of San Francisco (2022) and the Venice Biennale of Architecture (2021).
