The Architecture in the Age of Austerity Seminar, organized by the Rafael Manzano Prize with the collaboration of Notre Dame University School of Architecture (Indiana, EEUU) and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and the support of INTBAU Spain and the Centro de Investigación de Arquitectura Tradicional (CIAT), was held on 18, 19 and 20 June 2013 at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid School of Architecture.

With a full room, despite the intensity of the program, and a magnificent audience, the seminar was a success, becoming an excellent platform for the exchange of ideas and generating interesting debates among the attendees.
