Summary note

New condensed edition of the monumental work of Néstor Tobón Botero published initially in 1985. This new edition summarizes the content of the five volumes that make up the original work, as well as the images and illustrations that accompany the presentation of the vernacular architecture of the 40 selected towns of the Department of Antioquia. "This book, synthesis of the five volumes published in the 1980s, is a tribute to Néstor Tobón Botero and to that architecture and those people, that despite the social, political, economic and geographic problems - earthquake of January of 1999 in the Eje Cafetero (Coffee growing axis) - kept their life expectations tied to the conservation of their heritage to the extent it has been possible. The earthquake consequences in the landscape of the area, changed the rhythms of life, diversified the economy and supplanting constructive ways, adapting traditional architecture to new suitable tourist paradigms, although continues to be the architecture of coffee" (HKB Translation) --Page 17.
