On 8 April, MEDIOMUNDO took part in the “International Workshop: Improving the city through tourism”, organised by the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Seville. This event, part of the ERASMUS BIP project, brought together 36 architecture students from four European universities, alongside lecturers and professionals from the sector.
Throughout the day, participants visited some of Seville’s most iconic examples of contemporary architecture. The tour included the Diputación de Sevilla (Renovation and expansion, 1994, Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos), the Rectorate of the University of Seville, the Gipsoteca (2015, Ricardo Alario), the Museum of the University of Seville (2025, Francisco Reina), and the Real Fábrica de Artillería, Magallanes Center (2025, Francisco Reina).
The workshop was held in collaboration with Mario Algarín (ETSA Sevilla), Marta Pelegrín (MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos), students from HS Mainz, Pedro Ravara (FAU Lisbon), Olivier Boucheron (Paris La Villette University), and Saskja Matinevic (University of Split). The experience fostered reflection on the role of tourism in urban transformation and the value of contemporary architectural heritage in the city.
