For the fourth consecutive year, the subject of Architectural Projects of the University of Alicante (UA) returns to focus its gaze on the city of Torrevieja. Thanks to the departments of Education and Tourism of the City Council of Torrevieja and the Headquarters of the University of Alicante in the town, this year a new intergenerational team of architects, teachers and students will project on the opportunities offered by the city of Torrevieja and its tourist ecosystem , in what they have titled as “Torrevieja Grand Tour”.

The program will begin tomorrow, Friday, February 11, at the Polytechnic School IV of the UA, at 2:00 p.m., with the conference “Common Accounts” given by Igor Bragado. The conferences will continue in the same place and time, on March 11 with Deborah López + Hadin Charbel. PAREID; and on April 8 with Manuel Jiménez. NAGAMI.

These three speakers will give workshops at the Virgen del Carmen Cultural Center, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.: on March 4, Igor Bragado will focus the first workshop on how to visualize, technify and mediate in the 'Cults' and the body, gyms, sports spaces, etc. and what territory, environment, technology and social commitments can emerge in this imaginary.

The second workshop "Ecolandscapes of tourism" (April 1), by Deborah López + Hadin Charbel. PAREID, will work on a larger scale and will study the current situation of several of the toxic landscapes of the municipality and the possibilities of biology in its way of projecting.

The last workshop, proposed by the director of NAGAMI, Manuel Jiménez, will deal with "Parametric Tourism" (May 20), in which he will experiment with robotic design, 3D printing and other multiple processes of advanced technologies that surround Architecture.

In this edition, Torrevieja Grand Tour is directed by the architects Mireia Luzárraga and María José Marcos, both professors of Architectural Projects at the University of Alicante and also professors at the Andrés Bello University of Chile and the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia. The team of recently qualified teachers who are part of this multigenerational team are Juanma López, Gemma Santo, Sara Serna, Beatriz Arranz and Jonathan Berna. All of them have just finished their Architecture degree with flying colors, which is why they have been selected to form part of this work group.
