Higher Grade Educational Cycle

These post-compulsory studies provide the skills to develop the design processes of ephemeral architecture, to direct and coordinate projects, and to carry out the work.
Ephemeral architecture is a discipline focused on the design and construction of temporary or short-lived structures. These can range from trade fair stands to stage sets, including artistic installations and special events. Their main characteristic is that they are designed for a specific use and a limited period of time.
