Vertical Garden in the Parking Lot
On December 4th, the Despacio team, along with our colleagues from ROL Bogota and City Parking, installed a vertical garden in the parking lot behind our office building. The idea for this project came from this picture of a garden made from recycled bottles in Sao Paulo. We considered different designs and materials to build…

The idea was for everyone to learn a little bit about taking good photos because there is never a good enough photographer in the office (and the more, the better). As part of the activity, we created a booklet on basic photography, which can…
Noise in Bogotá Cafés
We were in three cafés in the city, measuring noise levels and comparing them with people’s perceptions. The work involved taking measurements (in decibels) for a day in each café and surveys of customers’ perceptions of noise. The goal was to connect the objective measurement of noise with what people thought in each place. In summary,…
Fotografía básica, muy básica
En octubre del año pasado, el equipo Despacio tuvo una clase de fotografía con la profesora Pilar Suescún. La idea era que todos aprendiéramos las nociones básicas para tomar fotos lindas, porque nunca sobra una buena fotógrafa en una oficina (y mientras más haya, mejor). Como parte de ese ejercicio, creamos una cartilla básica de fotografía…
