IE Madrid Stewardship Lecture series
By Editorial Staff -

IE School of Architecture and Design is a young, but fully accredited private university in Madrid and Segovia, Spain. Diversity is a main stay of our institution, with students and faculty from all over the world, using English as our common language.
This year the school undertook a study of undergraduate students and teachers related to sustainability.  The results were even more positive than imagined.  More than 75% of the students want not only academic work related to sustainability, but they also wanted to undertake actions to assess our campus and implement changes. The professors overwhelmingly think that sustainability (in many aspects, from energy, environment, to social, cultural and economic) should be an across the board part of the curriculum. In addition, the school has just hired two new teachers from the US, specialists in the fields of building technology and sustainability.
Each year the School brings in at least four special guests to speak to our undergraduate students, but this year the school wanted them to be experts who have a compelling view of sustainability  through their excellent view and practice of architecture.
The sessions on stewardship are generously supported by Fundazione Cav Lav. Carlo Pesenti.
