The editorial team of the Universidad del Norte led by Óscar Ángel Ángel and Rossana Llanos Díaz present the project compiling the work of the modernist architect Roberto Acosta Madiedo. The book is a careful tour of the architect's work of Acosta Madiedo, one of the architects who most collaborated in defining the image of modern architecture in Barranquilla. Among his projects are well-known buildings such as the theater Capri, the synagogue Bet-El, the house Yidi, the building Picasso and the building Carbó, among many others that have set an example to follow for subsequent generations of architects and urban planners in the Colombian Caribbean. A complete architectural analysis of these and other buildings is presented in this text by researchers from Uninorte.
