The guide is divided in 3 sections: the first, the largest and medullar part of the book is the presentation of the buildings; a second section is an inventory of buildings important in the history of the city but now disappeared, and a third section includes location maps with recommended itineraries and routes. Each entry includes the name, date and brief history of the building and the name of the architect.

A detailed study that examines the architecture of Fernando Martínez Sanabria (b. Spain, lived and worked in Colombia since 1938- d. 1991) throughout one of his most recognized buildings: the building of the Caja Agraria (1965) located in Barranquilla. The author examines this commercial project from its initial design process and proposes an analytical view of the building through its anatomical construction systems of light and semi-darkness developed by architect Martínez Sanabria.
