Can you imagine entering the School's workshops and finding a giant swimming pool? And seeing a Formula 1 Grand Prix award in the front row? The 2nd year Architecture students have carried out an activity in which the workshop has become a blank canvas on which to capture their imagination.

As part of the subject Project Workshop I, Professor Javier Sáez Gastearena presented them with an exercise: "I showed them the original image of a transformation by Mies Van Der Rohe of an airplane factory by Albert Kahn (you can see the images below). Based on that transformation, we proposed the intervention in the workshops of the School of Architecture when it was under construction".

From this statement and with the techniques learned, the students have turned the workshops of our school into different spaces. Among the projects, the students have presented the workshop as a Formula 1 circuit, a swimming pool or even a city under the feet of the well-known painting 'The Walker on the Sea of Clouds', by Caspar David Friedrich.

We share with you some of the students' work:
