Estadio Once de Noviembre
Estadio Once de Noviembre is a baseball park in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. According to the famous American architectural historian Henry-Russell Hitchcock in his Book Latin American Architecture Since 1945, this is one of the most striking examples in the world of cantilevered shell vaulting. The team of architects, Ortega, Solano, Burbano and Gaitan Cortes, had the inspired collaboration of an extraordinary designer of structures, the engineer Guillermo Gonzalez Zuleta. A pivotal project of the mid century modernization policy in Colombia that brought on new construction techniques and a novel way of doing architecture, it synthesizes a special moment for architecture and engineering in Colombia.
