The programme, organised by INTBAU Qatar and Caravane Earth under the patronage of the Ministry of Social Development & Family of Qatar, brought together students and professionals to develop an urban and architectural project based on traditional references from the region. <\/p>\n The school concluded with the exhibition Neighborhoods For Belonging. Harmony Through Tradition<\/em>, which presented the outcomes of two weeks of work focused on designing an urban model for Doha inspired by the region\u2019s historical precedents. The proposal explores neighbourhoods that are more walkable, better adapted to climatic conditions, and more socially inclusive, while ensuring continuity with local architectural culture. The Foundation contributed to the design process alongside an international faculty, within a framework of exchange shaped by the cultural and geographical diversity of the participants. <\/p>\n More information<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PremiosNacionalesArtesania_5.jpg” title_text=”PremiosNacionalesArtesani\u0301a_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Master esparto artisan Pedro Antonio Blanco Ubalde wins the 2025 National Craft Award<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Ministry of Industry and Tourism of Spain hosted the award ceremony for the 18th edition of the National Craft Awards, which recognise individuals, workshops, and organisations that make an exemplary contribution to the preservation, renewal, and contemporary projection of craft trades in Spain. <\/p>\n Pedro Antonio Blanco Ubalde was awarded the Building Arts Award in 2017, organised by the Traditional Building Cultures Foundation in collaboration with INTBAU Spain.<\/p>\n More information<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/HispaniaNostraConvocatoria_4_11zon.jpg” title_text=”HispaniaNostraConvocatoria_4_11zon” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Open call for the Hispania Nostra Awards for Good Practices in Cultural and Natural Heritage 2026<\/strong> <\/p>\n Hispania Nostra has opened the call for the 2026 Awards for Good Practices in Cultural and Natural Heritage, aimed at recognising exemplary initiatives carried out in Spain that contribute to the preservation, management, and dissemination of heritage. <\/p>\n The awards are granted in three categories\u2014intervention in territory or landscape; heritage preservation as a factor for economic and social development; and heritage signage and dissemination\u2014and consist of an honorary distinction accredited with a bronze plaque. <\/p>\n The deadline for submitting applications is 10 April 2026. <\/p>\n More information<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MasterTerra_6_11zon.jpg” title_text=”MasterTerra_6_11zon” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n New European Master\u2019s Programme TERRA in Architecture and Earth Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n TERRA is a European Master\u2019s programme in Architecture and Earth Construction, delivered as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master and funded by the European Union.
