Avantguarda | [M] Masterclass | Javier F. Contreras · 'interiors, architecture and media in the 21st century'
Javier Fernández Contreras (Granada, 1982) is an architect and doctor in architectural theory from the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM). Since 2018, he has been the director of the School of Space Design / Interior Architecture at the Haute École d’Art et de Design (HEAD – Genève), in Switzerland. His work explores the relationship between architecture, systems of representation and media, with a specific focus on the role of interior spaces in the construction of contemporaneity.
Contreras is director of several research and master's programs, among which stand out MAIA (Master of Arts in Interior Architecture) and Scènes de Nuit, a platform that investigates the relationship between night and architecture. His recent publications include the books 'Manifiesto de Interiores' (Puente Editores, 2022), and Nocturnal History of Architecture (Spector Books, 2024).
At the end of the masterclass there will be a dinner-colloquium with the speaker at the Barhaus restaurant. You can sign up by sending an email to comunicacio.tar@coac.net. Dinner price €22.

Avantguarda | [G] Debate group | Vicente Molina + Beatriz Borque + Flexo Arquitectura · 'where are we going?'
We will see the challenges of the future that contemporary cities face, if from architecture and urban planning we can imagine optimistic scenarios escaping from this dystopian vision with a lack of resources such as water and a polluted atmosphere.
Vicente Molina, architect of mtres studio in Madrid, is director of training courses on architecture and how to work with artificial intelligence.
Beatriz Borque, architect and landscape designer for the Escola Técnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB) and the École National Supérieure de Paysage de Versailles (ENSP), is currently working on several architecture and landscaping projects. In addition to his professional practice in the studio, he also works in the theoretical and academic field.
Flexoarquitectura is a studio founded in 2002 by Tomeu Ramis, Aixa del Rey and Bárbara Vich, which since 2017 has been directed by Tomeu Ramis and Aixa del Rey. A study based in Barcelona interested in the capacity of any project to make sense within a particular cultural context utilising the resources – both conceptual and narrative- and the constrictions -technical, economical and material- as the opportunities from which to build the project’s strategies.
At the end of the debate there will be a dinner-colloquium with the speakers at the Barhaus restaurant. You can sign up by sending an email to comunicacio.tar@coac.net. Dinner price €22.
