Rafael Maldonado Tapias: un símbolo de la arquitectura escolar en Colombia

Rafael Maldonado Tapias: architect and graduate of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and lecturer in Architectural Design. He completed his postgraduate degree in school architecture and wrote his dissertation on Buildings for primary school teaching in Colombia, which turned out to lay the foundations for a career that has been dedicated to, above all, the study of school architecture. This led to his undertaking of the prize-winning research History of school architecture in Colombia, which is used as reference for both architects and researchers. He has developed several educational projects over the duration of his career in institutions such as the Centro Educativo Integral Colsubsidio in Bogotá, the Instituto Caldas, and the Universidad Autónoma in Bucaramanga.
