IE University, in collaboration with All Things Urban, would like to invite you to our "Cities and Jobs Series". A series of webinars are being hosted by the two organizations, for the launch of IE’s new Bachelor program in Urban Studies (for which applications are now open). The multidisciplinary program examines urban issues in a holistic way to prepare the future generation of urbanists to tackle the pressing challenges of our cities.
Cities only occupy 2% of the planet’s surface, but they accommodate more than 50% of thepopulation. They consume 75% of global energy, produce 80% of global CO2 emissions, and generate more than 80% of the global GDP today.These numbers put cities at the center of any discussion about global warming, urbanization, progress, and social issues.
The three online webinars will tackle conversations from “Urban Artificial Intelligence: how can we urbanise technology?” to “Urban Green Infrastructure: How can nature save cities” and “Urban social inequalities: How can cities include people?”
The façade is the only part of the building that can be seen from the outside and has the function of communicating a message derived from its design. It therefore deserves special attention in every detail. A façade that is well proportioned in terms of colours and materials, which facilitates the connection between the interior and the exterior, will generate an initial attraction for pedestrians, inviting them to enter.
From a small house clad in classic tiles, to big brands such as Apple or Louis Vuitton, façades are used as an architectural expression to give us a glimpse of the first elements that we will later find inside the premises. In interior design, the entrance hall of a home concentrates many clues as to what we will find next. The effect of this first impression would be even more positive if the façade included a design that leaves the user hungry for more.
The International Colloquium: Cartography, a Critical Tool for Design, brings together internationally renowned speakers in critical cartography from various disciplines to present diverse perspectives and visions of mapping. The event is structured around three interrelated themes: creative mapping, descriptive mapping, and critical mapping. The first segment explores various approaches to mapping through innovative processes and methodologies in critical cartography; the second group analyzes cartography as an intersubjective and interdisciplinary medium in the current Anthropocene era; finally, the third group presents counter-mapping, participatory cartographies, and spatial practices as critical processes aimed at highlighting and emancipating other realities.
