At 1962 a group of students of architecture, allegedly from Universidad de América (English: University of América), manifested their nonconformity with the education and academic formation mechanisms established in the education system of the university. Their nonconformity was because the architectonic models taught in the university were for the European geography and therefore difficult to apply in the geographical structure of Colombia.
In 1962, a group of [[architecture]] students of the University of America (''Universidad de América''), showed their nonconformity before the mechanisms of education and academic formation established in the educational system of the University. The disagreement was that the architectural models taught were for european geography, and therefore, it was difficult to apply to the colombian geographical structure.


Because of this, a student movement was conceived in order to reform and restructure the system by an institution to respond to the needs of the students.

History

[edit]

In 1962, a group of architecture students of the University of America (Universidad de América), showed their nonconformity before the mechanisms of education and academic formation established in the educational system of the University. The disagreement was that the architectural models taught were for european geography, and therefore, it was difficult to apply to the colombian geographical structure.

As a result of this, a student movement was created with the aim of reforming said system and restructuring it through an institution that responded to the needs of the young students. By August of the same year, a large number of students formed by work teams and under legal, economic and human management responsibilities, were installed in the National Park Theater temporarily, headed by students of higher semesters.

A group of senators of the Republic, among which include doctors Alfonso Palacio Rudas and Raúl Vásquez Vélez, decided to participate in the magnificent idea and provided the students and parents with the Elliptical Hall of the National Capitol, so that they would gather, discuss and approve the statutes on September 14, 1962 and give rise to the university, which was named Corporación Universidad Piloto de Colombia.
