The title of this post is quite an accomplishment in itself, as Segovia is usually associated to the history of architecture and not to modernity at all. Well, things are changing.

The reasons for the changes are various: political, cultural, educational and economic. One of the main changes comes form the initiatives taken by the IE School of Architecture. As an example: next Sunday there will be a conference on the CAT design competition won by David Chipperfield, and he and the authors of the three awarded proposals will explain their work at the Aula Magna.

The participants will be the Major of Segovia, Martha Thorne (Executive Director of The Pritzker Architecture Prize), David Chipperfield, Andrés Perea, Juan Carlos Sancho y Sol Madridejos and Jerónimo Junquera. The report of the jury of the competition is in Spanish.
