Edificio UGI, Office building in Bogotá, Colombia
The Edificio UGI stretches 22 stories into the Bogotá skyline with a central core design and stone-clad exterior surfaces from local quarries.
Construction of the Edificio UGI commenced in 1973, introducing South America to the sliding central core construction technique under architect Hernando Vargas Rubiano's direction.
The Inter-American Development Bank's Colombian headquarters established their operations in this building, marking its role in national financial development.
The structure contains offices across multiple floors, with a dedicated core housing elevators, bathrooms, and stairways to facilitate efficient vertical circulation.
The building's floors were constructed from top to bottom, suspended by cables from the central core, demonstrating an innovative engineering approach in 1970s Colombia.
