JURY

Carlos Bañón
Assistant Professor | Architecture and Sustainable Design | Singapore University of Technology and Design | Singapore

Guzmán De Yarza Blache
Professor | Department of Architecture | IE University is a private university | Segovia, Spain
Award by the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Aragón for the Iglesias General Motors Building. He develops simultaneously a career as a visual artist in a disciplinary mixture that enriches both practises and allows an exchange of sensitivity that eventually aims to somehow illuminate our perception of human condition. His work has been recently seen at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía within Les Rencontres Internationales de Video Paris/Madrid/Berlin, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Vigo (MARCO), the Jeu de Paume Museum in Paris, the Centro de Arte 2 de Mayo in Móstoles, the Centro de Arte Recoleta de Buenos Aires, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts in Moscow, the International Triennale of Prague and several national and international exhibitions.

Ian Taberner
Director of Master’s Thesis | Department of Architecture | Boston School of Architecture | Boston, USA
Ian Taberner has a Master in Design Studies from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the Pratt Institute. He is the Director of Master’s Thesis at the BAC. Ian believes we teach because we are still eager to know. Ideally he views his role as a professor as one who is a constantly maturing student. The greatest offering a teacher may make available to their students is the example of their own work, the drawings, the models, the unrealized projects with the constructed works. Ian believes we build because our ideas need the support of matter. Within our built works one can see the essence of the project; the consistency of ideas. As architects, we must maintain the long standing tradition of taking responsibility and an active role in the education of the next generation of architects. Teaching architecture is about a shared discovery. Practicing architecture is about clarity.
