The book contains, in two parts, the papers and the discussions that were held in the forum "Arquitecturas insurgents" that took place in the PUJ in 2016. The first part presents some stories about the resistances of the communities in informal built environments in the Corregimiento of Vallecito (in the south of the department of Bolívar) and in Potosí and Altos de la Florida neighborhoods (in the existing metropolitan conurbation between Bogotá and Soacha). It also narrates the joint experiences of the academy and the community, to build a dialectic between incipient and consolidated informal structures and between a secluded rural settlement and the most recent metropolitan periphery. In the second part, some insurgency proposals are exposed, and the possible new mechanisms for understanding the realities of urban informality and the work that artists and architects can perform. In order to glimpse ways to create environments of approach and community participation, the experiences of Colombian artists who have worked with architectures and territories in the public space of Bogotá and in informal areas of Soacha and Tumaco are presented. Thus, the book reveals alternative paths, still tenuous, that go against the architect's absolutist world, which forces other beings to adapt to their particular vision and desire.
