About Universidad Nacional de Colombia

The Universidad Nacional de Colombia's Bogotá campus stands as a testament to modern architectural principles interwoven with Colombia's cultural heritage. Conceptualized by Fritz Karsen and Leopold Rother in 1935, the campus, also known as the White City, embodies a commitment to blending science and art within its urban landscape. Its buildings, characterized by prismatic blocks painted in austere white, reflect a design ethos focused on clarity and functionality. Seventeen buildings have been declared national monuments, representing 60 years of architecture in Colombia. The campus design promotes pedestrian-friendly spaces and ample green areas, fostering a holistic educational environment. The university aims to enrich cultural, natural, and environmental heritage, train ethical professionals, and promote democratic values. From its inception, the institution has been deeply connected with wisdom and intuitive knowledge, evident in the campus's layout resembling an owl from an aerial view.
