Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra will give a Lectio Magistralis tomorrow 27 October in the context of the V Biennale di Architettura di Pisa. Under the slogan “Shared City”, this year’s biennale aims to disseminate works and lines of research that show the role of architecture in social rebalancing, offering the possibility of comparing past experiences and visions of the future. Works that shape new models and will lead the way in designing the cities of the future.

Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra will give a lecture at the Venice School of Architecture on 2 October at 11.30 a.m. in the Aula Magna dei Tolentini, the University’s headquarters at Santa Croce 191, Venice. Entitled “Una nuvo totalità”, the lecture will focus on the importance of context through various interventions in the built environment.

Audi Spain has used the Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Cartagena as a backdrop to promote the latest launch of the Audi Q3 Black Line.

Vázquez Consuegra is facing the final stage in the construction of the MKR multi-brand shop in the centre of Seville. Located in an old building designed by the architect Gómez Millán in 1912, this is the second shop that the studio has designed for Markaride S.L. However, this new store will offer more exclusive brands, becoming a benchmark on the city’s haute couture circuit.

Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra will restore the former Convent of the Poor Clares in the Italian town of Melfi for its conversion into the Museo MIA, Museo delle Innovazionni e delle Arti. The monastery of San Bartolomeo was built around the 16th century and entrusted to the Nuns of the Order of Santa Chiara until the Municipal Council of Melfi, in 1863, ordered the closure of the monastery and the transfer of the building to the military authorities. From the convent of the Poor Clares, it became a prison until the end of the 1980s. Now, the GVC studio will be in charge of its refurbishment to turn it into a new cultural space in the city. The former convent, and future MIA Museum, is part of the “38 Cantieri della Cultura”, a detailed and exclusive selection made by the Italian Ministry of Culture as part of the strategic plan “Grandi Progetti Beni Culturali”, relating to restoration and intervention projects in monumental and cultural buildings. This selection includes such emblematic buildings as the Basilica of San Marco in Venice, the Colosseum, the Vittoriano, the MAXXI Museum and the Palazzo Poli e Calcografia in Rome, the Royal Palace in Naples, the Egyptian Museum in Turin and the Basilica of St. Andrew in Mantua, among others.
