Luis Callejas (Medell�n, 1981) Architect, founding partner of Paisajes Emergentes and founder and director of lcla Office (Medell�n)
Callejas's design practice is positioned at the intersection of architecture, landscape and urbanism, and is oriented toward the generation of new forms of engagement with the public realm by reframing the traditionally limited disciplinary tools of architecture to make meaningful political and spatial impacts at territorial scales.
Having obtained diverse recognition in multiple public space and landscape architecture competitions, Luis Callejas was awarded with the 2013 Architectural League of New York Prize for Young Architects and selected as one of the world's ten best young practices by the Iakov Chernikhov International Foundation in 2010.
Luis Callejas is the author of Pamphlet Architecture 33 (Princeton Architectural Press, 2013) and is a lecturer in Landscape Architecture at Harvard Graduate School of Design.

School of Architecture Archive historical background: In 1970 John Hejduk and Roger Canon, AR'70, established a methodology to document student work for the publication Education of An Architect: A Point of View, which coincided with an exhibition of the same name held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1971. Supported by a recommendation of the 1980 National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) Visiting Team, the Archive was established in 1983, and officially became a department of the School of Architecture in 1991.
