Territorio Mudéjar collaborates one more year in the workshop Cortona Open 3D that this year celebrates its Urbino edition.

Territorio Mudéjar has once again collaborated in CortonaOpen3d, which this year was held in Urbino, a town in the Italian region of Le Marche (Marche).

CortonaOPen3d \ BlenderOPen3d 2024 is a Design in a Cultural Heritage context workshop that took place from 26 July to 4 August. During the workshop, participants developed an architecture-design project or an artistic installation in the context of the city of Urbino.

The workshop is an international initiative and is carried out in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano, the Fine Arts Academies of Brera (Milan) and Urbino, the University of Zaragoza and the Escuela Superior de Diseño de Aragón.

Within this framework, Territorio Mudéjar collaborates by monitoring the projects and with two activities:

On Tuesday, the director of Territorio Mudéjar, Victoria Trasobares, was in charge of giving a presentation on the digitalisation strategy of Territorio Mudéjar through the projects carried out by the organisation and with the specific presentation of the Villarreal de Huerva project. This municipal project, carried out thanks to funding from the #fundacionemprende and the collaboration of the #comarcaCampodeDaroca, consists of using virtual reality to understand and publicise its valuable historical heritage. This initiative, which seeks to promote cultural and heritage tourism, offers visitors an immersive and unique experience that will allow them to travel back in time.

In addition, the TM director took part in the jury responsible for evaluating the projects and awarded the Territorio Mudejar mention – which coincided with the jury’s mention – to the “Delirium” project. The aim of the project was to redevelop the square of Borgo Mercatale in Urbino, today a car park at ground level and underground, to recover visually the landscape and restore an ideal connection between the views of the wall of the Cini Towers and one of the main access routes into the city.

Territorio Mudéjar returns to CortonaOpen3D

Territorio Mudéjar participates one more year in the workshop of the Polytechnic of Milan and the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera: CortonaOpen3D. This is a course specialising in “SmartCityDesign” (smart city design) in a Cultural Heritage context and will be held from 1 to 10 August in the Italian town of #Cortona (in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany). Due to the health situation, there will be a combination of face-to-face and online training.

The workshop lasts approximately 100 hours divided between classroom lessons, lectures and project workshops in which between 50 and 100 international students participate. In this meeting, the participants develop a SmartCityDesigns project within the city of Cortona.

In this framework, Victoria E. Trasobares Ruiz, director of Territorio Mudéjar, will be one of the invited specialists. Her conference will focus on: “Territorio Mudéjar, a strategic example of heritage management: the project behind the projects”, as an example of innovative management of historical and artistic heritage in rural areas.

The director of Territorio Mudéjar will give this lesson from #Tobed (Zaragoza) through the digital platform set up for the workshop. It will also be the starting point of the many and varied activities to which the internship students of the #ChallengeProgramme 2021, the initiative financed by the Council of Zaragoza and managed through Universa, the Guidance and Employment Service of the University of Zaragoza, will be able to attend.
