Giancarlo Mazzanti

[1][2][3][4][5][6] He graduated with a bachelor's degree in architecture from the Pontifical Xaverian University in Bogotá (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana) in 1987.

He received a graduate degree in history and theory of architecture and industrial design from the University of Florence, Italy in 1991.

[7] Mazzanti's work includes the Biblioteca Parque España, the León de Greiff Public Library (Bibliotheca La Ladera) in Medellín, the Gerardo Molina Public School,[8] the Nazca Restaurant, Habitar 72, Habitar 74, and the Medellin Coliseum (for the IX South American Games).

[9][10][11] He also designed the El Porvenir Social Kindergarten in Bosa; the Gerardo Molina Public School in Suba; the Museo del Caribe in Barranquilla; the Third Millennium Park in the San Victorino neighborhood in Bogota; and various coliseums.

His work has helped show that good design can lead to new identities for cities and their inhabitants, transgressing reputations of crime and poverty.
