Within the framework of the Mathias Goeritz Extraordinary Chair and the centenary of the educational project known in Europe as the Bauhaus, the Taller Nómada (Nomadic Workshop) emerges. It is a space for producing creative experiences that draws on the contributions and strategies of the school's masters, as well as the 40-year teaching legacy of Mathias Goeritz. This talk will outline the starting points for the workshop's creation, providing a historical overview that contextualizes the various influences on contemporary art and architecture education.

This documentary focuses on the practices of young studios from the post-financial crisis generation. These architects were forced to rethink their approach to the profession, leading them to not only carve out a space for their architectural work but also to gain significant visibility. This shift stems from the construction of a distinct identity based on production that highlights local values—both material and human—and is defined by the social, economic, and environmental consciousness they bring to their projects.
