We recently took part in a meeting with the delegation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) at the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt. This visit forms part of the launch of the RIBA’s European chapter, which aims to promote architecture, support architects, and strengthen its presence across the continent.

During the event, Fernando Pérez shared with RIBA members the teaching and research work he undertakes alongside Marta Pelegrín in the academic sphere, demonstrating how Mediomundo’s professional practice is enriched through academic exchange and applied research. The studio, based in Seville, is distinguished by its innovative and multidisciplinary approach, integrating architecture, urbanism, and design projects with a strong commitment to teaching and research.

The RIBA’s visit to Frankfurt included a tour of some of the city’s most significant buildings and a reception at the University of Applied Sciences, where Mediomundo presented its main lines of work and recent projects. This meeting highlights the importance of international collaboration and the role of the university as a space for experimentation and the generation of knowledge in architecture.

In this way, Mediomundo Arquitectos continues to consolidate its presence in the European context, championing teaching, research, and professional practice as drivers of innovation and transformation in contemporary architecture.
