INTRAHISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE IV. History of Achitecture Course Online
Each new edition of the course Intrahistory of Architecture aims to provide us with a better insight into architecture and its spin-offs from a different perspective. The pandemic has undoubtedly changed our view of architecture, town planning, our environment, climate change and, in particular, humanity’s relationship with nature. With all of this in mind, the 2022 edition is marked more than any other by architecture’s relationship with nature. As ever, a transversal view, where we will review the work and thought processes of various leading figures in this context. Landscaping, management of natural resources, bioconstruction, garden design, the renaturalisation of urban spaces, biophilia and the links between art, design and nature are all included in this year’s sessions. As in previous editions, we welcome the participation of guests who specialise in each of these fields: experts who will help us gain a better insight into the greenest architecture.

FERMÍN BLANCO (La Pola, Asturias, 1977) has a PhD in Architecture from Madrid’s Polytechnic University, and is a graduate of the Valladolid School of Architecture (ETSAVA). His professional career is marked by the educational and informative nature of his projects, moving seamlessly between disciplines. He began his professional journey by working with the architect Manuel Gallego (2003-2006), after which he opened his own studio in A Coruña.
Since then, he has held exhibitions and given courses and conferences on different aspects of architecture, design and didactics. In 2008, he founded Sistema Lupo, an umbrella harbouring an excellent team of professionals involved in the architecture-education tandem. His prize-winning doctoral thesis “Los huesos de Fisac: la búsqueda de la pieza ideal”, marked the beginning of a series of scientific-informative projects on the transfer of knowledge from technique and art to society. He currently coordinates, among others, the following programmes: Nenoarquitectura at A Coruña’s Luís Seoane Foundation, MIES es + in the CGAC, Mestra de obra and Eskoola proiektua in collaboration with public education school communities. He is also co-founder of the Ludantia Arquitectura y Educación association.
