Bogotá dust and paper city : a critical design exercise that explores corruption in town

One of the facts that condition the urban development of cities like Bogota is Corruption; this phenomenon has limited growth, not only in physical terms but also in terms of the sustainability of this territory. This is why today, more than ever, various manifestations that question the mentality of people linked to this city in different scenarios are becoming necessary, inviting them to ask themselves and know more about this matter, the veracity of the information they receive and the role played by citizens as active participants in society. This article explores the way in which critical design, through a speculative architecture object, can generate reflections and discussions about the effects of corruption, both in the development of the city and in the performance of professionals associated with the architecture field. The text describes a research through design exercise that contributes to the area of critical design knowledge - with special emphasis on speculative architecture and its role in the creation of cities- and a set of fictions, materialized in artifacts and narratives, which trigger conversations and reflections about corruption among architecture professionals and the community in general, not to dictate solutions to such a complex problem, but to make its impact visible in a context like Bogota.
