As we announced in our presentation, the Workshop in Barcelona is a way of extending the trip for 15 more days.
The workshop will be held at the ETSAB, the school or Architecture in Barcelona from July 8th to July 22nd, and this year, the participants for this edition will be:
- Universidade FUMEC - Faculdade de Engenharia e Arquitetura (FEA), Belo Horizonte, Brasil
- Cork Center for Architectural Education, Cork, Ireland
- Tongji University, School of Architecture, Shanghai, China
- Western Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Geneva, Switzerland
- ETSAB - Escola Tecnica d'Arquitectura de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
and of course, us!
Each school brings between one or two professors and from 5 to 10 students and rather than staying with our well known classmates, we will mingle with the other students making interschool groups to propose a design.
The workshops are centered on the urban scale, in part because of the large tradition of the school of Barcelona mastering this topic and also, because Barcelona is one of the cradles of the urban design of the XIX century with the Cerda plan that still guides the development of the city.
During the past editions, the topics were the following:
2004 - URBAN HOUSING INTERVENTIONS
2005 - HOUSING INFILL IN URBAN INDUSTRIAL AREAS
2006 - INTERMODAL STATION IN FIGUERES.INFRASTRUCTURE: Design, City, Landscape
2007 - THE TEMPLE OF THE SAGRADA FAMÍLIA: URBAN ICON AND PUBLIC SPACE
2008 - FIGUERES, THE GATE TO EUROPE-Infrastructure / city edge / tourism / renewable energies / landscape
2009 - EL CARMEL: AFTER THE CITY
As you might see, the topics are HOT!
Sharpen your pencils!
