Architectural production is inherently linked to time, whether through the intent to endure or through a planned duration. However, the permanence of buildings is limited: elements wear out, are repaired, and are transformed, while users change their activities, integrate unexpected uses, and adapt spaces to their evolving needs. Similarly, projects with a set duration can extend their utility, travel to new spaces with updated programs, and generate new transactions. Even more paradigmatically, projects and construction are often carried out according to the rhythms of the community rather than a fixed schedule.

The city of Alicante, the provincial capital and the fifth most populous city in Spain, boasts a privileged climate, an exceptional location, magnificent infrastructure, and extraordinary connectivity. With its airport—the fifth busiest in Spain by passenger volume—and its high-speed rail connection to Madrid, the city is a continuously developing technological and service hub that also hosts the European Union Intellectual Property Office, the registry for EU trademarks and designs.

Idealism and materialism, those two antagonistic philosophical visions, are constantly perceived in architecture. Juan Gris said that a nail was made with the idea of a nail, while Braque thought that a nail was made with iron.

In the early 20th century, the Pinheiros River in São Paulo was a destination for water sports and leisure. However, subjected to the misguided urban planning of the 1960s, the river’s winding curves were straightened to accommodate roads along its banks, leading to frequent flooding, while the river itself became polluted by industrial discharge and urban sewage. Recent city and state administrations have worked to clean the river and establish a bike path, encouraging the emergence of kiosks and a temporary floating bar. Building on this momentum, the 2024 workshop will explore ways to further revitalize this space, investigating a new relationship with the city's rivers to create public space.
The surreal contrast between modern skyscrapers, a seven-lane highway, and the river’s green banks—complete with capybaras and polluted water—creates landscapes that resemble digital montages, even inspiring art installations. Expanding on this, students will learn to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to speculate on radical new aquatic landscape infrastructures, utilizing its capacity to generate a fluid fusion of natural and built structures. Led by Carlos Bañón, an expert in artificial intelligence applied to architecture, alongside specialists in landscape design and urban infrastructure, students will learn to translate some of this virtual exuberance into built form.
