Clorindo Testa, a centennial tributeCaballero, Gerardo; Conte, Federica; Corea Aiello, Mario; Gambardella, Cherubino; Lapunzina, Alejandro; Testa, JoaquinaSometimes good things happen entirely by chance. It is the case of this little book. Its origin can be traced back to a telephone conversation about a completely different subject that I had in May 2023 with Joaquina Testa, Clorindo Testa’s daughter and president of the Fundación Clorindo Testa (Buenos Aires, Argentina). In that conversation we informally explored the possibility that the Illinois Architecture Study Abroad Program at BarcelonaEl Vallès (the flagship study abroad program of the Illinois School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, also known as the “Barcelona Program”) and its host institution, the Escola Superior d’Arquitectura del Vallès of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) jointly organize a modest exhibition of Testa’s architectural legacy to commemorate the centennial of his birth. One and a half years later, that informal conversation materialized with the organization of the exhibition Clorindo Testa, a centennial tribute and a round table dedicated to celebrating his work. This book comprises aspects of both; on one hand, it works as a sort of catalogue of the images displayed in the exhibition, while on the other, it includes eight rather personal approximations to the work of Testa by the specially invited guests who participated in the round table held at the exhibit’s opening on December 16, 2024. The main objective of the entire project was to celebrate the work of this extraordinary architect, but in parallel, our intention is to disseminate his work, especially to an audience that, because of geographical and generational distances, may not be familiar with the transcendence of his architectural oeuvre. Based on a preliminary selection made by Federica Conte, a young Italian architect and researcher of Testa’s work, the exhibit presents a brief selection of some of the architect’s most significant buildings, from the emblematic and internationally praised Banco de Londres y América del Sur (1956-1959) to some of his late work such as the Auditorio for the Universidad del Salvador (1998-2000). For the most part, this book includes the same documents (preliminary sketches, drawings, photographs) displayed in the exhibition; however, there are a few exceptions in both directions, that is, some images included in the book are not displayed in the exhibit (notably most of the images that illustrate the texts), and vice versa, not all the images shown in the exhibit are included in this volume. In closing, we hope that those who have known Clorindo Testa and his work enjoy this little book as a heartful tribute, and that those who are not familiar with it discover the work of one of the most original and greatest architects of the last seventy years.- Effective Reading Practices for Engineering Research Articles: An Engineer’s Guide to Reading, Critiquing, and Evaluating Primary LiteratureGarcía Vilchez, Mercedes; Gámez Montero, Pedro JavierEngineering education plays a vital role in serving society, driving ongoing efforts to improve its pedagogy. One such educational tool is the reading of scientific articles, a skill that holds immense value for students who become proficient at it, both academically and professionally. Derived from a synthesis of numerous research studies and practical experiences, this book offers a straightforward and effective approach to reading research articles and developing analytical skills through critical evaluation of their content. Additionally, the book outlines a teaching intervention framework aimed at engaging students in the reading of primary literature, drawing from practical experience in an undergraduate Fluid Technology course. Delving into the nuances of the paper-writing process, from conception to publication, the book provides valuable insights and offers recommendations for increasing motivation and strengthening students’ sense of belonging.
- Career Initiation ProjectRoca Blanch, Estanislao; Bilbao España, Ibón; Bohigas Arnau, José; Pardal March, Cristina; Vázquez, FermínThis publication presents 13 experiences of the UPC’s Technical School of Architecture of Barcelona, represented by the Final Degree Project (FDP), which in these years have been defended in the course presided by Estanislau Roca and formed by Cristina Pardal, Fermín Vázquez and Josep Bohigas or Ibon Bilbao. A big thank you to all the students that have been part of this course. In a major or minor way all of them have contributed to enriching the shared knowledge and the open debate from day zero, starting different paths throughout the FDP, many of which have continued to be developed.
- Control and automation in chemical engineering: problemsGuadayol Cunill, José María; Medina Garcia, José LuisThis book shows a solved problems collection with the aim of covering the knowledge requirements of the students of Chemical Engineering. The book begins with feedback systems, after having seen the block diagrams, until the study of stability using the frequency response. Some problems about control systems that are not based on feedback systems, always applied on Chemical Processes (Chapters 1, 2 and 3). The second part of the book is focused on applying in a practical way the concepts of Automation and Control. The chapter 4 solves discrete systems using pneumatic elements and programmable logic devices (PLCs). Finally, chapter 5 deals with the control of continuous processes using a PLC.
