En Blanco 31: La arquitectura de las universidades

The current university panorama is very different from that of the 60s and 70s with the massive arrival of students to the university that led to the adoption of policies related to teaching models, campus planning and the space that should support to learning.

Not only have learning spaces been profoundly transformed by new technologies, but institutions are also competing for visibility in a scenario of international competition.  Universities are now subject to market rules that shape their policies: brilliant scientific production, fruitful relations with industry, proven knowledge transfer to society, and an attractive range of degrees with promises of high employability.

This special issue of En Blanco brings together five recent works that illustrate the evolution of the questions posed half a century ago with new answers that continue to fuel our reflections.
