In the history of building, Juan Pablo Escobar Henao is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Juan Pablo Escobar Henao as Peace Ambassador, Colombian architect, author, and the son of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Juan Pablo Escobar Henao was born in 1977. His recorded nationality is Colombia.
Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.
He is recorded as architect, writer and industrial designer.
An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Colombia shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Juan Pablo Escobar Henao is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
