Students have been able to learn a little more about the University and some of the extensive extracurricular activities offered

Jordi Ayala, Jonathan Arnabat, Aitor Fuentes and Igor Urdamtilleta recently won the FAD 2022 Architecture Award with the “Llacuna” apartment building, located in Poblenou in Barcelona. They met when they were students at UIC Barcelona School of Architecture, when they had a small rental space where they managed their projects and did their university projects. That space ended up becoming a small office and was the beginning where a great friendship and work team was forged, and years later moved to the Arquitectura-G studio in Barcelona. They were all former students and teachers at the school between 2006 and 2016. Jonathan Arnabat and Jordi Ayala bring us closer to their vision of architecture. Today, they are architects with a long career behind them, even though they confess that sometimes they still have nightmares about exams on “4 types of structures.”
