The project for the Villas de San Pablo Cultural Center, located in Barranquilla, was developed by a team that included Hubert Klumpner and Diego Ceresuela Wiesmann, both from ETH Zurich and Urbanthinktank_next, along with Alejandro Restrepo from UPB Medellín.

The team needed to conceive an infrastructure capable of keeping pace with the complexities of an urban process characterized by population movements, such as displacement and migration, in addition to the fundamental need for community rebuilding.
