IE Tower HYBRID EVENT (In person and Online)

In the upcoming edition of our Beyond Scale lecture series, we will welcome Iñaki Carnicero, Director General of Urban Agenda and Architecture at Spain’s Ministry of Transport and Mobility.Architects are often responsible for defining the relationships between the built environment and the people, and historically this has been identified with the simple act of designing and building it. The reality is that in the current context of social, economic and environmental concerns, our role as professionals could be deployed in multiple ways using our background as experts in managing complexities to respond differently to our society, sometimes rearranging or improving things that already exist, or simply defining strategies that could have a great impact on the quality of people's lives, going beyond the building design and construction.The lecture will take place in person in the IE Tower at the IE Club (Floor 24), but will also be available online. The face-to-face event will be followed by a cocktail reception.ABOUT THE SPEAKERCarnicero is co-founder of <a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fricastudio.com%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cmarcela.araguez%40ie.edu%7C078f394c1c864da444b008da034c9854%7C4a39c5786df042b9a7e0e9eac6d91816%7C0%7C0%7C637825925240832075%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=03DU%2BB4HefIPRDiv8%2FBgL5nCNzSRdRRHvggtBGIk%2FfE%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RICA* Studio</a>, an architectural practice based between Madrid and New York working across a diverse range of scales and topographies.Now, as one of the most influential figures in the Spanish Government when it comes to urban policy, he joins us to share exclusive insights on the future of our cities and our role as architects within them. “BEYOND SCALE” LECTURE SERIES:Although the spatial dimension is crucial in architecture and design,  especially in relation to humans, our concerns extend into other major concerns. (Especially now when so many people like to see “scalability” as the panacea for all). The series aims at linking current challenges and questions within and beyond architecture and design, from the macroscale of infrastructural and territorial dynamics to the microscale of the pixel component. We aim to set up conversations around topics that pertain to architecture and design, but that also have a considerable impact beyond our discipline, such as:<ul><li>Energy consumption and environmental impact of the built environment, at all scales.</li><li>Transformation and reutilization versus production from scratch (of objects, buildings, fashion, software, etc)</li><li>Inclusivity, diversity, parity, and questions of care in the professional and academic environment</li><li>Global practices versus local awareness of specific contexts</li><li>The digital realm as a space for creation, action, protest, vindication, etc</li></ul>Lectures will take place in hybrid format from our Segovia and Madrid campuses at 18pm CET
