Industrialización y Economia Circular en Arquitectura

15.Jun - 16. Jun, 2026 Cod. A02-26

Cómo integrar la sostenibilidad en las decisiones de proyecto.

Description

Este Curso de Verano intensivo de día y medio tiene como finalidad dotar a las y los participantes de bases conceptuales y herramientas prácticas para orientar las estrategias hacia una edificación más eficiente y sostenible.

El curso parte de la relación entre los principios de la Economía Circular y los procesos de construcción industrializada, explorando cómo ambos pueden integrarse desde las primeras decisiones de proyecto. Se analizarán distintas tecnologías - sistemas planos, volumétricos, híbridos o ensamblajes tipo kit - para comprender su potencial en la optimización de recursos, la reducción de impactos y la circularidad.

El eje central reside en entender cómo las decisiones iniciales de diseño, los métodos de producción y las técnicas de montaje en obra influyen directamente en la sostenibilidad del edificio bajo una perspectiva del Análisis de Ciclo de Vida. En este sentido, se abordarán aspectos clave como la versatilidad, durabilidad y capacidad de reutilización de los sistemas industrializados.

De este modo, el curso proporcionará a los participantes criterios y estrategias para incorporar la circularidad en el proyecto arquitectónico, reduciendo el impacto ambiental de la edificación desde su concepción hasta su ciclo de vida.

Se trabajará mediante:

  • Exposiciones conceptuales
  • Análisis de sistemas y estrategias del proyecto
  • Estudio aplicado de un edificio industrializado
  • Discusión colectiva y síntesis final

                  She is an architect and PhD, and a lecturer at the Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, within the Department of Architectural Technology. Her teaching and research activities focus on architectural construction, sustainability and innovation in the building sector. Her work focuses on construction industrialisation, circular economy applied to the built environment and environmental assessment of buildings through methodologies such as Life Cycle Assessment. She particularly develops research and teaching related to the design and technology of façades and building envelopes, exploring their role in improving environmental and constructive performance. She has also developed professional activity related to the design, development and consultancy of façades and building envelopes, participating in building projects at national and international level. Within this course, she explores the potential of industrialisation and circularity strategies to advance more sustainable construction models.
