BAC

BARCELONA

ARCHITECTURE

CENTER

Is an organization directed by Xavier Costa and Miguel Roldán, which offers academic stays in Barcelona to foreign architecture schools with the support of the Fundació Politècnica de Catalunya. The FPC is a foundation in charge of the development of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya´s graduate and postgraduate programs. The BAC was created as a meeting point to share academic and research experiences from all over the world. At this moment it has been successfully received in many American institutions, which prove that our courses provide the right mechanism to exchange different ideas from both sides of the Atlantic.We are building a network between international universities to develop architectural research projects in common. This network has to include new partners every year from other continents, as we are specially interested in focusing on local and global points of view. We are also interested in designing the future of a professional environment in global context, creating mechanisms to share tasks and to work at distance through digital systems in a worldwide team.
