February proved to be a busy and interesting month at IE School of Architecture and Design.
The 2019 editions of the Master in Architectural Management and Design (MAMD) and the Master in Strategic Design of Spaces (MSD) kick started with 43 students, coming from 20 different countries and from 21 nationalities. Welcome all!
We were pleased to welcome a number of guest lecturers throughout the month:
Paul Priestman, designer and Chairman of PriestmanGoode and responsible for the design of the Hyperloop capsule, gave us insights into the role of good design for mobility, as a tool of sustainability and to optimize resources.
Ignacio Mallol, CEO at Mallol Arquitectos, told us about the firm’s use of the management system Mallol Integrated Office (MIO) to create knowledge inside the company and how it has changed the way they work.
Finally, Winy Maas, architect and Founding Partner at MVRDV, energetically spoke to a full house about different projects and how architecture and urbanism can contribute to bringing the individual and the collective together.
The month ended with the Graduation of the 2018 MAMD and MSD students, with a moving commencement speech by Winy Maas. Congratulations! |

Bachelor in Architectural Studies: Mid Term Reviews
|
|
The students of the fifth year of the Bachelor in Architecture had the Mid-Term Reviews for their Final Thesis Projects last Friday, March 22.
The projects focus on the studio of the development of rural areas of Extremadura that were colonized in the first half of the 20th century and on how the balance of the population and the industrial distribution happens within its vast territory.
Together with the regional government, the students analyze the area of Vegas Altas, contained between the old village of Medellín and the Orellana Dam, in order to devise architectural proposals with the ability to deal with the challenges that the local community is facing.
Projects range from small-scale interpretation centers to regional plans to rethink agricultural production in and around villages.
Students presented to their professors Matan Mayer and Fernando Rodríguez, and the Mid-Term reviewers Manuel Gener Villechenous, architect and General Director of Architecture in the Junta de Extremadura, Jesús Castillo Oli, architect and Principal at Estudio Castillo Oli, and professors in the Bachelor in Architectural Studies Laura Martinez de Guereñu, Rafael Iñiguez de Onzoño, Fernando García Pino, and José Vela Castillo.

Tanvi Mehta, Community Design Manager @ Livespace.com, New Dehli
|
|
Originally from Chandigarh, Tanvi grew up admiring the ‘concrete’ architecture designed by Le Corbusier for the new city to be the capital of Punjab and Haryana. This early experience contributed to her understanding of architecture and urban planning.
Tanvi is confident that the biggest aspect that has factored her growth while studying the Master in Architectural Management and Design in 2015, was the wide range of highly driven professionals from around the world that joined her during this path-changing experience.
