Visita del arquitecto Borja Frutos Vázquez


El pasado 24 y 25 de octubre tuvimos el placer de recibir en Sídney al investigador y arquitecto español Borja Frutos Vázquez dando una charla en el Instituto Cervantes y otra en la Australian Graduate School of Urbanism en UNSW (Sídney, NSW).

Borja Frutos Vázquez trabaja actualmente en el Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja – CSIC, donde realiza su investigación en construcciones medioambientales, comportamientos térmico y acústico, y protección de radón.

El tema de las charlas fue «Medio Ambiente y Sostenibilidad en las Ciudades«.

Resumen: La arquitectura, como disciplina técnica de pensamiento y de desarrollo de propuestas y modelos de habitar, está estrechamente unida al concepto de medio ambiente. En la charla se trataron temas como el impacto que tiene la arquitectura (el ruido, la vibración, la calidad del aire) y el consumo de energía que supone el proceso constructivo.
