Maloka Museo Interactivo

This guide to Maloka Museo Interactivo in Bogotá starts with what lies beneath an ordinary plaza in Ciudad Salitre: a science museum buried as deep as eight meters, built in the late 1990s on a patchwork of government and private money. You'll hear how construction raced ahead even as Colombia slid into its worst recession in decades, and how the builders chased an idea they called, without irony, transparent and underground. Listen for how skylights and glass volumes solve that contradiction overhead.
