MÁLAGA / From June 30 to July 3, 2025
We invite you to participate in this Summer Course at the International University of Andalusia (UNIA), organized by our Healthy Architecture & City research group. It will be held from June 30th to July 3rd, 2025, at the UNIA Technology Campus in Malaga, and at the Azucarera space of the Torre del Mar Mayor’s Office, where the closing ceremony will take place. The relationship between architecture and health is at the center of architectural debate, due to the compelling social demand to build increasingly healthy environments and cities. This summer course will feature leading specialists from diverse disciplines such as medicine, architecture, engineering, and social work, as well as associations and public and private institutions. Renowned experts will present, with a transversal and multidisciplinary perspective, how it is possible to plan healthy buildings and cities. It will be a space for exchange and collaboration that will facilitate new avenues of research and specialization for professionals, students, and doctoral students.
