Core Design Studio review with Iñaki Ábalos. Photo by C. Cabrera.
The second term of the MBIArch Master in Architecture program is structured around two design studios and the Core Design Studio. Focusing on the hybrid proto-typology of the “Verticalscape“, which combines architectural, landscape, and environmental considerations, the Core Design Studio led by Iñaki Ábalos will feature seven different stages of in-depth research and intensive design production. The studio is supported by Javier García-Germán, partner at Totem Arquitectos and Associate Professor at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

Aside from delivering the first BIArch Open Lecture of the Spring term, David Adjaye also directs one of the two other design studios of the term, which cover four weeks of design work (the second studio will be directed by Stan Allen). Here students will work on a site in a former industrial neighborhood in Igualada, a midsized city 60km west of Barcelona. Supported by Manel Bailo and Alexa Plascencia, students will propose projects that point to the transformation of the site andoffer alternatives for local production and growth.
