Torrella Ingeniería-Arquitectura recently welcomed Endi Nexhipi, an Albanian student on the Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and recipient of the Josep Torella scholarship, to its offices. The initiative is a result of the collaboration between the company and UIC Barcelona. The scholarship recognises the academic excellence of future architects and honours the company’s founder, Dr Josep Torrella.

During her visit, Endi was accompanied by Umberto Bini, head of Corporate Alliances at UIC Barcelona, and was received by Cristina Mollet, chief operating officer (COO) at Torrella, along with Fedde Huistra, director of Architecture. Throughout the visit, she expressed a particular interest in the company’s current projects, as well as in structural engineering – a key discipline in the development of any construction project and a core part of Torrella’s work.

Endi Nexhipi is currently working on her Final Bachelor’s Degree Project (TFG), but thanks to the Josep Torrella Scholarship, she will soon have the opportunity to join the company’s structural engineering department for a paid extracurricular internship. This will be an excellent opportunity for her to apply her knowledge and continue developing her technical skills in a leading professional environment.

The Josep Torrella Scholarship forms part of UIC Barcelona’s Grants and Financial Aid Programme and reflects the shared commitment of the University and the company to comprehensive education, the promotion of young talent, and the advancement of industrial architecture. 

Once again, the collaboration between Torrella and UIC Barcelona shows that supporting young talent is also an investment in the future of architecture. Endi Nexhipi’s path, along with her enthusiasm and dedication are an inspiring example of how education, industry and social responsibility can go hand in hand.
