Activities with universities
The America Forum promotes teaching activities between the University of Navarra and the Latin American schools that are members of the Forum. The aim is to promote the exchange cultural and knowledge exchange between schools of architecture and to jointly find possible solutions to future challenges in the different countries.
This is achieved through two activities:
01
COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning)
Through which collaborative exercises will be carried out between the University of Navarra and the members of the Forum to respond to the architectural needs of each reality and enhance the learning process of student body.
02
Travels in Europe
Through the 'Drawing for Spain' initiative , which will celebrate its next edition in 2025.
COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning)
Thanks to the Americas Forum, the following collaborative exercises are being and will be carried out:
Architecture and depopulation
DEVELOPMENT AND RURAL ARCHITECTURE IN AREAS UNDERGOING DEPOPULATION PROCESSES.
During the 24-25 academic year, an exercise similar to the one carried out by the 5th year Architecture students of the University of Navarra is being carried out in the Villages model promoted by the Xunta de Galicia in order to revitalize the Galician countryside, in partnership with Fundación RIA.
In this new exercise, and in order to obtain a broader vision and address the topic in a more global manner, it is being carried out in COIL format at partnership with the universities that are members of the America Forum.
Each of the participating universities is carrying out the exercise taking as a case study an area in the process of depopulation in their country, so that the analysis and proposals can be evaluated from a global perspective.
The final conclusions will be shared among the different participating universities and Fundación RIA, with a virtual exhibition of all the projects, leaving open the possibility of organizing a physical exhibition and the collective edition of a publication that collects the work developed.
The proposal of the CT Lab to be carried out by 5th year students of Architecture at the University of Navarra will address the rehabilitation of the rural area of Monterrei, a area of great historical interest presided by a castle in the province of Orense.
