The ICT isprimarily financed with resources from national budget investments forced the financial

system, with recovery portfolio and occasionally received foreign loans in conditionssoft.

Over time, the office added ICT support urban development, rehabilitation of substandardareas, provision of community services, improving housing and caredisasters.

The architecture is a subjective interpretation denotes pleasant space design forman is good to know that the design of habitat is the development of theresidential family activities.

In Colombia, an imbalance may show the circumstances in which their

inhabitants live, on the one hand are excellent, sustainable places, but otherwiseare ephemeral, the latter in large percentage.

The government for more than ten years has implemented a program tosupport those families who do not have a home, or to improve if they do,adding that the improvement would be only to homes that are in a deplorablestate, this program has been called social housing (VIP), which recently hisname has been changed to low-income housing a priority.

Unfortunately today, Colombia has many irregularities in its development as anation, issues such as violence, drug trafficking, corruption, directly affect thepopulation and therefore we can reveal the imbalance, however there are neworganizations, some of these non-governmental that support and try to helplow-income families.

The greatest satisfaction for an architect is not only able to see a design builton reality, but to his professional work to fulfill a dream to a family who reallyneed it, because we can provide a space in which to infuse education, respectand many values for development of the family.
