This article is a reflection as well as a research product. Through its three sections, it deals with the tension, along the 26th Avenue in Bogotá, between exclusion environments and inclusive spaces in two case studies: the Torres Atrio project and the Museum of Historical Memory (MHM). The first section establishes both methodological resources of genealogical order and theoretical critics, based on contemporary French thinking. The second argues about the updating of the historical confrontation between two architectural and technological movements, the Dead Tech and the High Tech, present in both case studies. The third section concludes with three findings: first, the Torres Atrio project, whose purpose is to place the city within global competitiveness dynamics, follows a logic of power and excluding economic and social interests. Second, the MHM plan corresponds to the reasoning and public policies of justice and social inclusion, since it spatializes elements of the post-conflict culture currently in implementation in Colombia. Third, if Torres Atrio is part of what Michel Foucault calls power, the MHM can be described based on contributions of Pierre-Damien Huyghe's thinking about the spatial possibilities of spaces for freedom.
