175 students have attended the Instant Summer Architect summer courses.
Coordinated by Professor Conrado Capilla, their goal has been to improve the skills of the students to apply them in their training in the Degrees of Architecture and design
In total, 175 students from Degrees Architecture and design of the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra have participated in the 6 courses Instant Summer Architect, coordinated by Professor Conrado Capilla and that have taken place throughout the month of July in the framework of the Open School initiative #ETSAUNencasa.
group Together with Professor Capilla himself -professor of Urban Planning and Project Workshop-, these courses have been organized and taught by a team of professional volunteers from the Capilla-Vallejo Arquitectos studio. Among them, Iker Ordoño - former architect student of the School and visiting professor of the School in Graphic Lab-; Arantxa Satrústegui, architect and former student of the School; and Ignacio Otaola.
"The goal of the 6 courses has been to offer students the opportunity to learn by doing and to work in teams to achieve skills that would facilitate the development of their training in the subjects of the degree program", explains Conrado Capilla. "We wanted to provide the student body of design and Architecture with skills in graphic and design tools to improve the efficiency of their work", adds professor. A goal more than fulfilled judging by the evaluation that the students have made of them.
Thus, the themes of the six Instant Summer Architect proposals covered, among others, the use of Photoshop to create an avatar or work with different textures; Autocad and Autocad 2D; Sketchup and twinmotion, etc. Each course was given in two-hour sessions and lasted between two and six days, depending on the subject matter; prior to registration and for small groups.
Escuela Abierta has been a virtual space designed in the context of COVID-19 in which conferences, courses, talks and workshops have taken place, given telematically between May and August 2020 and followed by more than 3,000 people, including students, alumni, professionals, etc. The themes of the different educational offerings have ranged from a review of the architectural history of the main capitals of the world -in the cycle "History of 6 cities"-, to a tour of the promising careers of 20 young architects programs of study -in the cycle #20under40-; through a Reading Club or a talk with the architect and critic Fredy Massad on "Architecture and coronavirus".
