Unicauca present at the XXIII International Seminar on Territory and Culture, SEMITEC 2024

With outstanding work on the practice of Cauca architecture in a biodiverse and multicultural region, Professor Sory Alexander Morales Fernández took part in the academic agenda of the XXIII International Seminar on Territory and Culture, SEMITEC 2024.

From November 5 to 7, 2024, Sory Alexander Morales Fernández, professor of the Architecture program attached to the Faculty of Civil Engineering, represented the University of Cauca at the XXIII International Seminar on Territory and Culture SEMITEC 2024, held in Villa de Leyva, Boyacá.

SEMITEC 2024 was an academic, scientific, and formative experience that integrated several activities, among which the participation of Professor Sory Alexander in the symposium “Ambivalent Territorialities” stood out. He presented the lecture titled “ANDAR-T Walking Architecture, the Region, and the Territory,” where he shared advances from the research project registered with the Vice-Rectory for Research of the University of Cauca.

“This project aims to co-construct, together with the different actors involved, a space for collective management of thought and knowledge regarding the practice of architecture in Cauca, within a biodiverse and multicultural region such as the southwestern part of the country,” stated Professor Morales, who also emphasized that the project’s purpose is to contribute proposals that support timely decision-making. Additionally, the professor participated in the presentation of the book “Contemporary Thought in Territorial Studies I. Perspectives and Challenges,” a publication for which he served as academic co-editor.

It is important to mention that the XXIII International Seminar on Territory and Culture — SEMITEC 2024 was held within the framework of the 25th anniversary of the International Network of Territory and Culture Studies (RETEC) and the 25th anniversary of the Territorialities Research Group of the University of Caldas.

The central theme focused on Geopolitics and Local Impact, exploring different dimensions of contemporary worlds.

Thus, this space for knowledge exchange seeks to show, through research conducted in various parts of the world, how decision-making and geopolitical realities are connected to what is lived, thought, and resolved at the local level.

The participation of Professor Sory Alexander Morales Fernández reaffirms our Alma Mater’s commitment to generating knowledge that responds to the cultural, social, and environmental dynamics of southwestern Colombia. By linking research with the co-construction of knowledge from an interdisciplinary perspective, the role of academia in understanding and managing biodiverse and multicultural territories is strengthened. These types of initiatives not only position the University in important international settings, but also contribute to decision-making that promotes sustainable development and respect for local identities. How exciting it is to see the colors of our institution shine in spaces that transcend borders!
