This Must Be the Place

About

“Learning from Pop-Up Urbanisms” appears as a project that studies the Music Festivals phenomenon. In the same way that Denisse Scott Brown and Robert Venturi did in their well know book “Learning from Las Vegas”, this project tries to identify and work with the architectures of that type contemporary urbanism.

“This Must be the Place” is the second edition of the Summer School of Learning from Pop-Up Urbanisms. It will be held as collaboration between the ETSAM and the Cruïlla Barcelona Summer Festival. This festival will serve as a concrete case of study in order to analyze and design the architectural, urban, sociological and economical aspects that construct these summer societies that appear and dissapear.

“This Must be the Place” is proposed as an intense Laboratory of three weeks, in which workshop sessions will be followed by lectures and discussions of selected experts and guests. While the first and third weeks will take place at the ETSAM-UPM, during the second week the Summer School will travel to Barcelona, visiting the construction for the Cruïlla Summer Festival, making a research and critical design.
