This building, one of the Atrio's Towers complex, constructed in the downtown of Bogotá - Avenue el Dorado with cra. 15 - is the perfect example for a local case of globalized construction. The facade, mainly made in glass panels, around 3600 m2 of surface, are fabricated in Italy by Permasteelisa in a proportion of 80% and the rest 20% is of local industry. Other example is the steel, that it has been imported from Canada, because in Colombia doesn't exist the infrastructure to make steel of this dimensions. Thus, the searching for build contemporary architecture, following the EEUU precepts, made that this kind of building have no one relation with the context and the culture of a nation. Without count the carbon footprint that the fabrication and transport could have in the environmental costs.
