Summer Schools organized by INTBAU

INTBAU annually organizes several summer schools and courses on traditional and classical architecture:

Summer Schools in Spain and Portugal

It is held annually in different locations in Spain and Portugal.

 

Participants in these Summer Schools have the opportunity to study and analyze the traditional building, architecture and urbanism of the area in which they are developed, drawing by hand the streets, buildings and details of the local building culture.

During the last days, improvement proposals for different public spaces in the area are also designed. The aim is not only to document, understand and assimilate the relationship of architecture and urban structure with a landscape and a culture, but also to show that we can continue working today without breaking this link.

This work is complemented by visits to master craftsmen’s workshops and numerous lectures by various local and international professionals and researchers on history, ethnography, architectural and building traditions, and various topics related to the preservation of cultural heritage and local identity.

 

This school is held annually in different locations in Spain and Portugal and is organized by INTBAU and the Rafael Manzano Prize for New Traditional Architecture, thanks to the support of the Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Lead Trust, through a donation to the Chicago Community Trust for the Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Fund, the Ekaba Foundation, the Fundação Serra Henriques, Alireza and Mina Sagharchi, and the collaboration of various universities and institutions.
