Caimán del Río
- Location
- Gran Malecón del Río, Barranquilla
- Status
- Built
A commercial and gastronomic space conceived as a large, inhabitable sculpture: the silhouette of a caiman clad in multicolor mosaic unfolding along Barranquilla's riverfront promenade. By day it works as a gathering point, by night as an illuminated landmark — and it summarizes how José Pérez Orozco approaches architecture: a vehicle for Caribbean identity rather than an exercise in international style.
