Seminars

The seminars offer students technical and cultural support throughout the entire year.

Given the multidisciplinary nature of the Master’s, the program includes a series of cultural and technical seminars that provide students with conceptual, practical and specialized language tools in the area of design. They deal with essential topics for the development, representation and communication of a project.

Cultural seminars
Students learn about the fundamentals and references that a designer must be able to manage. From art history to design history, a complete background is built for each student in such a way that they have the information necessary to build a coherent, quality project with internationally valid creative vocabulary, beginning in the very first semester. These seminars provide students the opportunity to initiate research and analysis processes in their environment with philosophical, historical and semiotic focuses, with the objective of strengthening their critical capacity for interpreting and representing cultural phenomena. Some of the cultural seminars from previous editions include:

Narrative Environments. Javier Montero
Contemporary Art. Armando Montesinos
Cartographic conscience. Pablo Jarauta
Visions, uses, research, maps. Victoria González
Panorama of contemporary design. Rocío Martín-Ruiz Jarabo
Trip to the peripheries of residuals. Basurama
Beta Design. Edgar González

 

Technical seminars
These seminars offer students support so that they may acquire the tools for proper management of the project communications and representation. They are also intended for acquiring technical knowledge of materials, productive processes, design management and sustainability, always attending to each student’s training in a personalized way. Some of the previously held technical seminars include:

Modeling tools for designers. Pedro Luis Carretero
Video editing and composition. Aitor Uribarri
Graphic project representation and communications. Álvaro Ramis
