During the last few years, I have hardly shown any activity on this website. This is because they have coincided with periods of considerable intensity, especially in terms of work. I already wrote about , and today I would like to write about another other one: , the collaborative mapping project of aspects related to urban mobility and disability that I devised in the academic year 2015-16 within a chair at the Universidad San Jorge and in which I have been working as a principal investigator since then.

For some time I have been looking forward to share it here because it is a project in which I am putting a lot of enthusiasm and effort and which, on the other hand, is giving me many joys. One of them was the , but the most recent has been to have participated in the program of scientific dissemination of Aragón TV “ ”, which was broadcasted last Saturday, and in which I had the opportunity to participate and explain what the project¹ consists of.

You can see the (in Spanish, though). Starting at minute 12:55, I explain to the particle physicist Carlos Pobes the particularities of Accessible Zaragoza². Additionally, the program features Javier Monclús, researcher in architecture and urbanism at the University of Zaragoza, who opens the chapter by explaining the role that our cities play in our lives (which introduces our project very well); and Antonio Tausiet, who presents the project , a repository of surprising images of the city, both current and old. The rest of the footage is dedicated in the survey section to some of the myths about menstruation and to the invention of the chair folder.

Some images of the program, whose full content can be seen in

I have to admit that this is the first time I’ve participated in a TV show like this and it was a very enriching experience to record and prepare it. I was pleasantly surprised by the meticulous and respectful work made by , producers of “En ruta con la ciencia “. After the first contact, in which their staff gave me an operational overview of their program, I had a telephone interview that lasted for more than one hour with the documentary filmmaker Isabel (I don’t remember her last name). After having read all the documentation that I had previosuly facilitated to her, she asked me very specific questions and clarified doubts, making obvious that she had already carefully reviewed my matrials). At the same time, this work served to elaborate a script that they handed me in order to guide the interview that Carlos Pobes would make me a few days later. After the interview, part of the staff joined me on my workplace at San Jorge University, where we recorded more shots.

Honestly, I have to admit that I am very happy both with the experience of recording the program as with the final result, and I can do nothing but reiterate what I did on twitter and thank the entire team of [Sintregua] ( ), first, for giving us the opportunity to publicize our project and, second, for making a program so careful and with great respect for our work.

Muchas gracias por dedicarnos unos minutos a explicar el proyecto #zaccesible (https://t.co/ocrkHpUZ81) en un programa tan interesante como cuidado, y además, por hacerlo en gran compañía. cc/ @edmldmv @ArquitecturaUSJ @MapColabora

Other no less important joys are the that I have had the opportunity to meet and work side by side with great people, such as the members of [Collaborative Mapping] ( ), which I founded almost unintentionally thanks to the then Director of Zaragoza Activa Las Armas José Ramon Insa and Miguel Sevilla-Callejo ([here I talked about it] ( , the people of [Disabled Without Borders Aragon] ( ) and [Mundo Crip] ( ) (I have yet to meet Marta Valencia, of the , who showed his interest in the project but we haven’t been able to match yet), as well as Mikel Gómez and the rest of the ’s staff and a lot of people from [OpenStreetMap] ( ) community. ↩︎

Presentación realizada junto a Fco. Javier Álvarez en el marco de las “ ” organizadas por la Universidad San Jorge sobre nuestro trabajo realizado en la asignatura de 5º curso “Aula Abierta” y los aspectos innovadores de la misma, que pasan por incorporar el mundo laboral en el currículo educativo desde el principio de la asignatura, la enseñanza por proyectos y centrada en el alumno, la incorporación de juegos como recurso educativo para formentar la creatividad, la síntesis y la reflexión o mecanismos de auto-evaluación que hemos llamado “Business Angels”.

“Pensamiento global, actuación local”: Una forma de afrontar los retos de futuro en la educación universitaria de la arquitectura: el caso de Herramientas Digitales

Sesión "Pensamiento global, actuación local, una forma de afrontar los retos de futuro en la enseñanza universitaria de arquitectura: el caso de Herramientas Digitales" en las Jornadas Científicas Internacionales COAC 2012 sobre arquitectura, educación y sociedad organizado conjuntamente por el el Colegio de Arquitectos de Cataluña y la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona.

La ponencia se enmarca en el bloque relacionado con la enseñanza universitaria de arquitectura, y reivindica el poder que tenemos los profesores de incidir de forma humilde pero efectiva en tratar de dar respuesta a algunos de los problemas de los que adolece la educación universitaria en general y de la arquitectura en particular mediante pequeños ajustes en nuestras respectivas asignaturas, siguiendo la máxima de pensar globalmente y actuar localmente. Y para demostrarlo muestra la experiencia personal en la confección del plan de estudios de la asignatura que imparto en la ETSA de la Universidad San Jorge, Herramientas Digitales, que si bien dista mucho de ser perfecta y tiene, por supuesto, algunos aspectos mejorables, ofrece una visión de la arquitectura actualizada y acorde con el contexto presente.
