Test
Vélez is a graduate architect, from the University of Colombia in Bogotá. He
was born in Manizale/ Colombia in 1949 and has completed over 100
projects using concrete, bamboo (Guada Angustafolia), mangrove wood,
woven palm mat lathing (or expanded metal lath) and clay roof tile.
Simón Vélez works from Bogotá, Colombia, South America. As much of his
work has been in very rural areas for ranchers, he has been allowed to
experiment with the locally available materials due to a lack of a regulating
authority and the relative difficulty of importing the standard building
materials of brick and mortar.

Vélez has developed a very interesting model for building experimental
structures. He builds only with his own well-trained crew of workers, so he is
able to constantly draw upon past successes and failures in detailing. He
intentionally keeps drawings simple, usually freehand on single sheets of
8x11 graph paper. Cad- drawings only are made for the purchaser or for
building improvements.
The clearest concept to be seen in his drawings is the necessity for balance.
