The new edition of the Summer School, organized by INTBAU and the Rafael Manzano Prize, will take place at Can Catá, in Cerdanyola del Vallés, near the city of Barcelona. For two weeks, the urban planning, architecture and traditional construction details of the region will be studied and used to create a catalog that will serve as a basis for the development of new designs that take them as a reference.

Several visits will also be organized and several experts in traditional architecture will deliver lectures each day. Hand drawing and measuring buildings will be the main activity to be developed during these two intense weeks.
