The work in our five classrooms, virtual and not, now is becoming increasingly intense. An alternation of individual work between groups and progress of the projects presentations to their mentors and to some professors of the Politecnico di Milano, “visiting” for a day. The fourth speed talks, introduced by Elena Fioretto, “Singular Territories” by prof. José Maria Sanchez Garcia focused on another theme very interesting for the students. Precise reasoning on the relationship between project and territories declined in four different situations, four different programs, but with the same delicate way of approaching the project. The record of the lecture is available here. To know more about Professor Sanchez Garcia’s professional work visit www.jmsg.es

SECTION C – Irarrázaval
Students are filing the final details: materials, finishes, and green design have now been chosen. Now the challenge is to best represent and communicate the project, but the inspiring lecture taken today on this by prof. Irrarázaval will surely help!
