"Architecture without architects, a slum made out of stories" by Yennifer Johana Machado Londoño 
  

It’s an everyday place in a nondescript slum in the outskirts of Medellín, but the longer you watch, the more you let yourself get enraveled in the stories that make the societal networks that, as if a tapestry, have been woven thread by thread by every humble Colombian family in the pursuit of a better life. It’s architecture without architects that, against violence and scarcity, stays on its feet as it hosts a community that makes its spaces their own and, little by little, rewrites its history. Its magic resides in the spontaneity, the ingenuity, the cooperation and the tight-knit urban relations that have been mantained and upheld even in the quarantine of 2020.
