What kind of architectural projects do you do? Copia de Casa Clau in Colombia by Sebastian Marroquin. I feel very passionate about…I really enjoy being part of the community. I have really found very good and close friends inside the architectural world. I found architecture to be a refuge for me in those days that I didn’t have too much to do or think about, because we were waiting for the justice answer. I liked the process of designing and these projects. It was also because my mother is an interior designer-in the past we had a lot of properties and a lot of buildings and my mother was involved in the design process, and I was always keeping an eye on that. Some of my aunts are really good at painting and making stuff with their hands and I believe that is where, in a way, I found love in design and architecture. Also on my father’s side, we have a lot of artists. He made a lot of furniture and he was also a designer. My grandfather on my mother’s side was a woodworker. What inspired you to choose architecture? I studied at the University of Palermo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.Īrchitecture saved my life because it gave me the possibility to believe that even when something is demolished new things can come out of that and architecture really helps to know how to think not only about architecture but also about life. That is when I decided to study architecture. I spent too many nights waiting for an answer from the Department of Justice in Argentina, and a lot of time passed and nothing happened, so I started to think about what I’m going to do. My mother was still in jail, and I was fighting very hard to set her free. I made the decision to be an architect when I was out of jail there. We couldn’t find any place to stay and study and there was no future for us there so then we decided to move to Argentina. This is the first interview of my life we are talking about architecture and not about my father.Īfter my father’s death, my mother, my sister and I went to Mozambique at first and the idea was to stay there in Africa but we only stayed for five days. They don’t even know who was my father’s favorite soccer team.Īrchitecture is more fun. They don’t know anything about us and that’s for sure. They are telling lies about my whole life. Sebastian Marroquin (Courtesy Sebastian Marroquin) Senior Editor Matt Shaw sat down with Marroquin to discuss his path to architecture, what he learned from his father, and what he hopes to accomplish for Colombia in the future. While accompanying his father for years evading the police and rival gangs, young Sebastian saw the perils and pitfalls of the criminal life and has since started a new life as a successful architect. “I’ve never been to Michael Jackson’s Neverland ranch,” he told The Independent. As a kid, Marroquin enjoyed time at “Naples,” a 20-square-kilometer (eight-square-mile) ranch that included swimming pools and a zoo filled with millions of dollars’ worth of exotic animals. Sebastian Marroquin grew up in Medellin, Colombia, as Juan Pablo Escobar, the son of legendary drug kingpin and leader of the Medellin Cartel, Pablo Escobar.
