TU Delft students on visit at El Campo de Cebada by Zuloark.

Wouter Vanstiphout, Chair at the Architecture Faculty of Delft University of Technology, had his students visit Madrid, as part of their graduation studio “Follow the Money”, in order “to explore the effects of the county’s property bubble and the (sometimes) harsh consequences of political games and real estate speculation on the built environment.”

On the last day of their excursion to Madrid the TU Delft students visited El Campo de Cebada, conceived by Zuloark. In the words of Denis Kolesnikov: “After several days of critical discussions relating to the negative impact of the economic crisis on the city, this refreshing encounter with a citizen-initiated project that speaks critically against the indifference of the top-down urban planning tactics of property developers, gave us an opportunity to reflect on what positive implications the economic crisis may have had for the architectural profession and showed us new ways in which we can all shape our own urban environment.”
