Next Wednesday, May 21st, 2025, at 1:00 PM, the lecture “Shade and Air. From the Mediterranean” will be held in the main hall of the School of Architecture at ULPGC, presented by the architect Antonio Cayuelas.

The event is organized by the Department of Graphic Expression and Architectural Projects and is part of the school’s academic activities program. The lecture will focus on the opening project of the Sugar Museum in the old Pilar del Motril factory, highlighting the use of timber structures and open spaces as essential design strategies in Mediterranean contexts.

We are pleased to announce that our school library staff is currently in the final stage of cataloging over 1,000 items, including books and magazines, from the personal library of Joaquín Casariego, generously donated by his partner Elsa Guerra. Joaquín was a Professor of Urban Planning and Land Management, a faculty member at our school from 1977 until his passing in 2016, and served as its Director from 1987 to 1991, leaving a lasting legacy in our academic community.

This valuable collection, enriched with his personal notes, offers a unique and profound perspective, allowing readers to connect intimately with his thoughts and reflections. We are deeply grateful to Elsa Guerra for her generosity, which not only preserves Joaquín’s legacy but also inspires future generations of architects and students.

These books will soon be available at our architecture library. We invite you to explore and make the most of this new addition.

In the School of Architecture Library, on the occasion of International Book Day, the documentary exhibition “The Simpsons: Learning Architecture” will be on view from April 23 to May 9.
