The IE University Campus in Segovia will welcome tomorrow, at 1PM, the last conference of the “Engagement” cycle, given by the architect Nathalie de Vries (MVRDV). The conference has been named “In Progress: New Strategies”.The cycle is being organized by the School of Architecture and Design at IE University and coordinated by professor Laura Martínez de Guereñu.

Nathalie de Vries (Appingedam, 1965) founded in 1991 together with Winy Maas and Jacob van Rijs MVRDV. Early work such as the television centre Villa VPRO and the housing estate for elderly WoZoCo, both in the Netherlands, established MVRDV’s leading role in the international architecture scene. Current projects in development are among others the new television centre in Zürich, the new Market Hall for Rotterdam, a number of housing and office projects in the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, France, England, Albania, the USA and China. Masterplans in construction are the office campus near Unterföhring, Munich, the Xinjin Water City near Chengdu, China, the New Leyden masterplan in Leiden, Netherlands. MVRDV also works on the masterplan for Greater Paris.

The work of MVRDV/Nathalie de Vries is published and exhibited worldwide and received many international awards. The monographic publications FARMAX (1998) and KM3 (2005) illustrate the work of the Rotterdam based office. Nathalie de Vries lectures and teaches throughout the world and takes part in international juries. She has been guest professor at the TU Berlin (2002-04) and is the 2005 Morgenstern Visiting Critic at the IIT in Chicago. Since 2010 Nathalie de Vries is president of BNA Research and Member of the Supervisory Board of the Netherlands Architecture Institute in Rotterdam.

El Campus de Segovia de IE University acoge mañana miércoles 9 de enero, a las 13,00 horas, la última conferencia del ciclo “Engagement”, que correrá a cargo de la arquitecta Nathalie de Vries, del estudio MVRDV. 

La ponencia, que será en inglés, lleva por título “In Progress: New Strategies” y servirá para dar comienzo al 2º semestre de Arquitectura. El ciclo está organizado por la Escuela de Arquitectura de IE University bajo la coordinación de la profesora Laura Martínez de Guereñu. 

Nathalie de Vries (Appingedam, 1965) fundó MVRDV en 1991 junto a Winy Maas y Jacob van Rijs. Su obra temprana, como el centro de televisión Villa VPRO o el bloque de vivienda social para mayores WoZoCo, ambos en los Países Bajos, le otorgó su fama internacional. Entre los proyectos actualmente en desarrollo destaca un nuevo centro de televisión en Zúrich, el nuevo mercado de Rotterdam, y numerosos proyectos de vivienda y oficinas en los Países Bajos, España, Austria, Francia, Gran Bretaña, Albania, Estados Unidos y China. Igualmente, desarrollan planes maestros de diseño urbano para el campus de oficinas cerca de Unterföhring, en Munich, el Xinjin Water City cerca de Chengdu, China, y el New Leyden masterplan en Leiden, Países Bajos. Igualmente, MVRDV trabaja en el masterplan de París. 

La obra de MVRDV/ Nathalie de Vries ha sido publicada y expuesta en el mundo entero y ha recibido numerosos premios internacionales. La publicación monográfica FARMAX (1998) y KM3 (2005) ilustra con claridad el trabajo de la oficina de Rotterdam.

JUDGES´COMMENTS BELOW:

Dear all,

Thank you for your participation in the Venice Photography Competition. We found very interesting pictures and insightful views of the trip we made back in November, as you may have seen pinned up in the corridor. It was a good way of remembering such a nice trip. The components of the jury were David Goodman, Anna Pla, Laura Martínez de Guereñu and Anna Mestre, and the deliberation took place last Monday. Remember there were two categories: Venice and the Biennale. Coming up with just one winner was nearly impossible, so we felt entitled to announce a winner and also honorable mention. There are two books waiting for the winners of the 2 categories, Venice and the Biennale, at the secretaries’ office. One is on Thomas Heatherwick’s work and the other on BIG Bjarke Ingels Group’s work. Winners can feel free to go and fetch them! 

The final result is as follows: 

VENICE category:

WINNER – Los guardianes de Venecia

HONORABLE MENTION – Untitled 

BIENNALE category: 

WINNER –  Switzerland Pavilion

HONORABLE MENTION - Lightness

Congratulations and thank you for your participation.

Have a great break and Merry Christmas!! 

Anna, Francesca, Laura

Fallado el concurso de fotografía ““Venice Photography Competition” 

La Escuela de Arquitectura y Diseño de IE University ha dado a conocer el fallo del “Venice Photography Competition”, un concurso de fotografía destinado a los alumnos que viajaron a la ciudad italiana el pasado mes de noviembre.

En la categoría “Venecia” la ganadora ha sido la instantánea titulada “Los guardianes de Venecia”, de Marina Durán, y ha recibido una mención de honor una foto presentada por Nathalie Lagard.  Por su parte, en la categoría “Biennale”  la fotografía ganadora ha sido la titulada “Switzerland Pavilion”, mientras que recibió una mención de honor la titulada “Lightness”. 

El jurado ha estado formado por los profesores David Goodman, Anna Pla, Laura Martínez de Guereñu y Anna Mestre. 

En la Secretaría de la Escuela hay dos libros esperando a los ganadores de ambas categorías, uno sobre el trabajo de Thomas Heatherwics y otro sobre Bjarke Ingels. 

Students of Architecture at IE University build a joint model to analyze how the forces involved in this type of structure work 

Let’s all make a bridge. How do we build it? This is the challenge that was raised today by second and third year architecture students at IE University in the Segovia campus. Under the supervision of several teachers at the school, the undergraduates have made a joint study of the different types of bridges, in collaboration with Digital Studies, under the subjects of Structural Types I, Structural Types II and ‘Tipologías Estructurales II’. 

The workshop “Fabricating the bridge_2012″ has culminated in the construction of a model of a bridge, made through the use of laser cutting machines, which were tested by adding up to four kilograms of cargo in order to analyze the failure mode. The workshop aimed for students to understand how the forces are involved in the construction of various types of ‘hanging’ structures. 

The students were accompanied by their teachers Anna Mestre, Adrian Sánchez, Javier Giménez and Anna Pla Catalá. The jury included the director for the Degree of Architecture, David Goodman, and the teachers Roberto Molinos and Carlota González.

Hagamos entre todos un puente ¿Cómo lo construimos? Este es el reto que se han planteado hoy los alumnos de segundo y tercer curso de Arquitectura de IE University en el campus de Segovia.  Bajo la supervisión de varios profesores del centro, los futuros arquitectos han realizado un estudio conjunto de diversas tipologías de puentes, en colaboración con Digital Studies, en el marco de las asignaturas de Structural Types I, Structural Types II y Tipologías Estructurales II. 

El taller “Fabricating the bridge_2012” ha culminado con la construcción de una maqueta de un puente, realizado gracias al uso de las máquinas de láser de corte, al que sometieron hasta cuatro kilogramos de carga con el fin de analizar su modo de fallo. El objetivo es que los estudiantes comprendieran cómo intervienen las fuerzas en la construcción de diversos tipos de estructuras colgantes. 

Los alumnos estuvieron acompañados por sus profesores Anna Mestre, Adrián Sánchez, Javier Giménez y Anana Pla Catalá. Ejercieron de jurado el director del Grado en Arquitectura David Goodman y los profesores Roberto Molinos y Carlota González.
