As part of the International Workshop: Improving the city through tourism, organised by the ETS of Architecture in Seville, we visited the city of Córdoba to analyse the relationship between tourism, heritage, and contemporary architecture. The activity included the participation of leading studios such as MEDIOMUNDO (Fernando Pérez and Marta Pelegrín), who contributed their innovative vision and experience in urban and sustainable interventions.
During the day, we explored key sites such as Molino de Martos, the Water Museum (2006, Juan Navarro Baldeweg), the conservation and restoration project by Gabriel Ruiz Cabrero and Gabriel Rebollo, the Centre for Contemporary Creation of Andalusia (C3A, 2013, Nieto Sobejano), and the Public Library (2024, Paredes Pedrosa). Each visit offered an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of architecture in historic cities.
The experience highlighted the importance of collaboration among professionals and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to improve cities through tourism and architecture.
