The Architectural Association in collaboration with the Instituto Empresa in Madrid is starting a new summer school initiative in Madrid running from Thursday 16 to Saturday 25 July.
Blueprint will be media partner for the intensive 10-day studio-based workshops. The summer school is open to students, young architects and designers. Participants will investigate new architectural and urban design approaches within the context of Madrid.
Under the banner title ‘Urban Endurance & Hybrid Spaces – Rethinking the AZCA District’, the workshops will be focusing on the possible re-design and re-development of the post WWII AZCA district, which is currently Madrid’s business centre, located the historic centre of Spanish capital.
The workshops will be based on the AA’s unit system of experimental teaching and learning techniques. The working groups, led by AA and IE tutors with additional support by visiting critics, will be asked to address the crucial problems connected with the modernisation of the contemporary city. Confirmed guest speakers include Iñaki Abalos, Ricky Burdett and Ross Wimer.
