Diego Barajas graduated in architecture from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, in 1999. He then attended courses at the Berlage Institute and, in 2002, obtained his Master’s degree under the supervision of Bart Lootsma: Dispersion: A Study of Global Mobility and the Dynamics of a Fictional Urbanism. In 2003, he published Dispersion, a research project on mobility and territories undergoing dispersion. Basing his work on the urban dislocations formed by the phenomenon of migration, his basic subject is the example of the Cape Verde diaspora and its territorial structure, with, as second string, the Belhuis phenomenon in the Netherlands, these being discount telephone shops. Diego Barajas is a member of SUR (Space for Urban Research), a research centre organized around urban development and planning in countries in the South. His research has appeared in several publications and exhibitions, and in particular at the Witte de With Contemporary Art Centre in Rotterdam in 2003, as well as at the Rotterdam Historisch Museum, where they are now included in the permanent collections. Diego Barajas took part in ArchiLab 2002, “Earth Economics”, in the collective student project 3D City, Multiplying Urban. Based in Madrid, Diego Barajas is pursuing his professional career and developing his personal experience in Spain, Colombia and the Netherlands. |
