BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The 2013-2014 academic year has meant for ELISAVA a consolidation and a continued expansion of the foundational activity in the curricular, educational and research areas, and in our collaboration with other companies. Like other years, ELISAVA has faced this new academic course taking into account the opportunities and challenges offered by the immediate and global environment. The promotional actions carried out all around the world have led to the establishment of relations with new design schools in Asia, Latin America, together with the existent ones in more than 30 European countries, North America and Oceania. Some good examples of the intense work carried out are the expansion of the Master’s Degree and Postgraduate programmes, the first course of the Simultaneous Study Plan (PES), the emergence of Elisava Alumni, the presence, for the first time in the history of ELISAVA, of Chinese students in June, and the collaboration agreements with enterprises and institutions, amongst which Arçelik, elBullifoun-

dation, Talgo, Puig, Esportiva Aksa, Mactac Europe, Vinçon, Sony, Lamp, Labco and Fundació Arrels stand out. In this sense, and in the field of research and collaboration with enterprises and institutions, I think that the signing of different collaboration agreements with elBullifoundation and its inspiring promoter, Ferran Adrià, is a triumph for ELISAVA. This relationship gives us hope and motivates us, given that we have become the only design school of the world that has established a long-lasting relationship with Ferran Adrià. The collaboration space is based on the different projects of the Bullifoundation: Bullilab, Bullipèdia, elBulli 1846, Decoding the Design Processes, etc., open to other fields of future creation. The execution during the last months of June and July of the new exhibition projects, with the title of “ELISAVA elBulli Challenge: elBulli DNA i elBulli 1846”, has been a first and successful experience that has been object of a presentation at Harvard University (USA) because of the MasterClass offered by Ferran Adrià during October of this year. Design, Engineering and Gastronomy have lots of things in common and result from this collaboration with the Bullifoundation. I think and believe that it will produce relevant symbiotic effects, making it possible to launch pioneering research projects in the design and engineering world (genome and taxonomy of design, etc.) that could position ELISAVA as a global benchmark in high-level research of design and engineering. Likewise, the book “ELISAVA. Since 1961” has been published. It explains the history of the School since its origins until today, giving documentary proof of the progression of our School and the history of design and Catalonia. Its content and images show a detailed portrait of the main events in ELISAVA, setting them in the context of our country’s history. As a result of ELISAVA’s activity, it has received different awards this year, among which it’s important to point out two national finalist projects in the James Dyson Award, winners of the One Day Design Challenge, winners of the HIV Think Tank competition, winners of a silver award in the A’Design Awards, ADI Gold award and Laus awards, among others, that confirm the high level and the quality of the School. As I do every year, I wish to congratulate all ELISAVA staff, teachers, doctors, professionals, researchers, managers, etc. that, with their dedication, courage, and personal good intentions have made this 2013-2014 academic year an ambitious course with successful results. Congratulations!

staff, and where the intense work carried out by the Academic Management Section is worth noting. As regards the improvement of infrastructures at ELISAVA, it is worth pointing out that the course started with the integration of all School installations in the La Rambla building, including the Prototype Workshop. The new workshop has built in new technologies and it has been divided into two clearly different sections: the traditional Workshop and the Digital Manufacturing Laboratory. In the field of publications, we can celebrate that two years after intense research and documentation work, the “ELISAVA. Since 1961” book has finally been published. The book depicts the history of our School, pioneer in design education field since its foundation. The book, with texts by Josep Maria Pinto and design by Spread, consists of 320 pages and is extravagantly illustrated, providing a visual written chronicle of ELISAVA that depicts an essential chapter of the history of design in our country. Number 29 of our magazine, ELISAVA Design Issues, has also been published with the title of Visual Communication. Finally, it is worth pointing out that, for the first time, the Graduation Acts of the Master’s Degree and the Postgraduate programmes have been celebrated, one of them in February and the other in July, with the objective of welcoming students who graduate in each of these periods. In this last event, the award ceremony of the first edition of the ei! Awards took place for the Master’s Degree and Postgraduate programmes. In keeping with the success role that they have represented in the field of Graduate studies, and with the name of ei! Awards Professional Edition, these awards recognise the excellence of Postgraduate programmes students’ final projects.

Teaching ACTIVITY FORMAL EDUCATION Academic direction ELISAVA offers a quality teaching model that enables its students to become prospective design and engineering professionals, able to take on the demands and challenges of our society’s future. In this sense, the established objectives for the studies during the 20132014 academic year have been: to promote the student’s personal initiative, at the same time as facing a high level of academic requirements; to inspire the reflection and action of some studies based on learning by doing; and, especially in carrying out projects to ensure a productive encounter between creativity and the application of new technologies. Degree programming During the 2013-2014 academic year, the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU) has approved, without modifications, the revision of the study plans of the Degree in Design and of the Degree in Industrial Design Engineering. Its implementation is expected to take place during the 2015-2016 academic year. This year there have been changes in both studies related to the action plan of the subjects, including methodological reorientations in order to adjust contents and to find the best sequencing between subjects and courses. This year, for the first time, an exhibition with all the final projects of the degree named “Final Degree Show” has been organised. The experience has been positive and has shown that this is a good way to give visibility to students’ projects inside and outside the School. Simultaneous Studies Plan The assessment of the first year of the implementation of the Simultaneous Studies Plan has been quite positive. The development of the plan has been well received by the students of both itineraries. Teachers have been quite involved, and some extra academic contents have been generated through common projects of both groups and carried out with enterprises and institutions. Degree in Science and Technology Building The expiration process of this Degree, which started in the beginning of the last academic year, has continued without incidents, so it is now considered to be concluded, only with the exception of any student with pending subjects.

Exchange programmes and collaboration projects ELISAVA has held the Intensive Program Urban Regeneration, sponsored by the European Union. This two-week international workshop relies on the participation of nine European schools and more than 50 students. During this year, the complete revision of the bilateral exchange agreement has taken place with the objective of rationalising the offer and adapt it to our students’ interests. The prediction of international exchange for teachers has also been covered. Master’s Degree in Design and Communication The AQU has approved the revision of the study plan of the Master’s Degree, that from now on will be called “Master’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Design and Communication”. It is also important to point out that two former students of the MUDIC have read the doctoral thesis during July of 2014, culminating the itinerary of a degree belonging to design in ELISAVA. Projects and workshops The overlapping of the social fabric and the relation with institutions has resulted in interesting collaboration projects. It is important to point out ELISAVA’s participation in the BCN RE.SET ephemeral architecture circuit, in the commemoration of the 1714-2014 Tercentenary, that consists in an installation based on the idea of memory in the public space located next to the Arc de Triomf. This project has been in addition to regulated training, in which more than 30 Degree and Master’s Degree students and 7 teachers have participated. Furthermore, the School has participated in a Challenge in the context of the collaboration with ElBulliFoundation and Ferran Adrià, opening the way to new academic projects related to “design for food”. Moreover, work has been done for a youth activity centre in Llagostera and projects for the Llum BCN, Campo Viejo, Ceramic Futures, among others. Resources and facilities From the academic area, there has been a very intense collaboration with the specific features of the Moodle programme, which will be the next virtual campus. It is important to point out the great functioning and the high density of occupation of the Science and Technology Laboratory and the Graphic Workshop, a new service. The Library is very popular among students. The School has applied some measures in order to promote its activity and resources through surveys aimed at teachers and students and training courses for teachers, among others. The idea is to strengthen resources in order to facilitate students’ personal initiative and to encourage their critical vision of the world around them.

BACHELOR’S IN DESIGN / DEGREE IN DESIGN General Overview Objectives The main objective of the 2013-2014 academic year has been the consolidation of the teaching model of the Degree in Design within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The fact of having concluded the first promotion of the Degree in Design in June of 2013 has made it possible to evaluate, with greater perspective and knowledge, the results obtained until now. This valuation has confirmed the School’s high teaching level, reflected in the results obtained and attained in students’ projects, and has also made it possible to draw conclusions for the revision and the perfection of studies for upcoming academic courses. In this sense, it is essential to point out the spirit of improvement and of research excellence of all the academic staff of the Degree in Design, which makes it possible to suggest modifications and new challenges in a constant and proactive way. One of the aspects worth pointing out is the increase of the quality of our teachers, who strike a balance between theoretical speculation and innovation capacity of ELISAVA, a university that has always built in the solvency and experience of the professional world in its classrooms. Constant research has also taken place into new projects where students can experiment throughout their learning process, while they consolidate their capacities and tools. Thanks to the improvement in the School’s facilities, both facts have resulted in a high degree of experimentation, quality and precision in student projects. Teaching Activity The main teaching activities promoted from the Degree in Design have been as follows: • Creative marathon, in December of 2013, with the following workshops taught in English: - “The Art of Rotoscoping” by Queralt Antú Serrano. - “The Power of Personalizing with Layers” with José Luis Merino and the collaboration of MACTAC. - “Creating Barcelona Graphic Image” by Enric Jardí. - “Do Your Own Stencil Type?” by Laura Meseguer. - “The World of Mapping” by Nueveojos. - “Design Food” by Claudio Larcher. - “Chromatic Portrait of the City” by Vanessa Lehner and Xavière Ollier. - “Colour Needs Light and Space” by Claudia Schneider. - “Space and Light – Wandershine” by Jada Schumacher. - “Athletic Footwear Design” by Marc Illan. - “Playing with Glass Stringers” by Daniel Orquin, Bianca Rebagliati and Guillem Ferran.

- “Bagstore” by Jordi Enrich and Ramon Enrich. - “Enhancing Perception” by Laura Serra Oliva. - “The Bowl as an Expression” by Carme Balada. - “Things for the Web of Things” by Albert Such. - “Redesign the Past” by Jordi Llopis. - “Energy and Textile Research” by Margarita Baena and the collaboration of CETEMMSA. - “The World of Resins and Fibreglass” by Martí Baltà. • Cycle of conferences in the module “Exhibition Design” in charge of Josep M. Muñoz, Manolo Laguillo and Valentín Roma. • Visits to enterprises and institutions such as MACBA, MaterFAD, Caixafòrum, Trespa, Sylvania, Sabaté, Bunkertype, BD and Santa&Cole, among others. • There has been also a participation in lots of projects, festivals and contests with institutions and enterprises, of which it’s worth pointing out: “Diem”, with the LlumBCN2014 Festival of the City hall of Barcelona; “Cavea”, for the Cadaqués Festival of Surrealism; ÚS Festival of Barcelona; Viquiprojecte with the Design-DHUB Museum in Barcelona; Recreate Packaging 2014 Design Competition, by Storaenso and Aalto University, Finland; “Ceramic Futures” in CERSAIE 2014 – International Exhibition of Ceramics in Bologna (Italy); and the Festival International de l’Affiche et du Graphisme de Chaumont (France). • There have been some activities for the training of the teachers, among which stand out the workshop with the graphic designer Danny Aldred. Final Degree Project The aim of the FDP of this year was to surpass the excellent results obtained by the projects of the first promotion of the Degree in Design. This success has been achieved by students and teachers of the four profiles offered by ELISAVA (Graphic Communication, Product, Space and Global) and are the proof of the improvement trend promoted from the academic area. All the FDPs stand out for several reasons. On the one hand, they reveal a trend towards establishing an interdisciplinary relationship between design areas that have been traditionally segregated but which need to be approached differently due to new technologies and new social contexts. And secondly, the projects demonstrate high level of quality in execution and finishing touches. Finally, it is worth pointing out the commitment to creativity and technology from the conceptual reflection of all the prospective designers, who are the essential element at ELISAVA.

such as NAFSA (San Diego, CA) and ICEF (Berlin). There have also been some lectures in top international university campuses, with the objective of making our programmes public to our students. Finally, some agreements have been signed for different collaboration lines with the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEI) in China, the Hogeschool Rotterdam in Netherlands and the Universidad Anáhuac in Mexico. In the field of Master’s Degree and Postgraduate programmes, it is worth pointing out the development of the first editions in English of the Master’s Degree in Retail Design and the Innovation and Research for Design. These programmes have provided ELISAVA with a greater visibility in non-Spanish speaking countries and a new field to be developed in the immediate future. As regards the other new programmes, it is important to point out the first edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Comic and Illustration, led by two well-known professionals of the industry, adding value to the Graphic Design Area and Communication with the inclusion of new contents which are clearly different. The Simultaneous Studies Plan has begun very satisfactorily and has closed its first year with an encouraging result. The involvement of students who have formed this first group, just like the one of teachers responsible and the Director of Studies has been a key factor for success and an essential element to make the programme widely-known to the other students of the Degree Programme. The increase of new students in the programme shows that the model has good prospects as it aims to teach excellent Product Design professionals. Ferran Adrià gave the opening lecture of the 2013-2014 academic year with the title of Ontology: order and classification of a discipline. Working with Ferran Adrià has become extensive to the teaching activity, and elBullifoundation and ELISAVA have signed a collaboration agreement with the intention of promoting and expanding understanding and development of the design and gastronomy culture, as well as knowledge about the creative processes in general. ELISAVA has participated in the Beijing Design Week 2014, being part of the exhibition and all the activities organized by the Institut Ramon Llull. The exhibition material was taken from the ElBulli DNA and ElBulli 1846 Challenge. With the objective of improving the academic management of the School, during this course the SIGMA programme has been gradually introduced. SIGMA is a project carried out by various Spanish universities, among them Pompeu Fabra University. The new programme will noticeably improve the efficiency of our academic management, the planning of teaching activity and schedule management. It is a group project, in which different departments of the School take part, including two Area coordinators that represent academic

Research And Teachers’ Exchange During the 2013-2014 academic year, there have been important results in the research field and the diffusion of knowledge, essential for the quality and internationalisation of the Degree in Design. Among them the following stand out: • Publishing of the book Barcelona-Masala, by Daniel Cid and Ed Souza, in the Editorial Actar. • Courses taught by Ramon Faura in the Universidad Torcuato Luca di Tella de Buenos Aires (Argentina); Ariel Guersenzvaig in the Universidad San Francisco in Quito (Equator); Raffaella Perrone in the Politecnico de Milano and in the Facoltà di Design e Arti della Libera Università di Bolzano, both in Italy; and Paolo Sustersic in the ESAG- Peninghen in Paris (France). • Presentation of the lectures in charge of Juan Jesús Arraus and Raffaella Perrone in the ICEILT, International Congress on Education Innovation and Learning Technologies, Barcelona, July 2014. • Presentations of the lectures “Ricardo Bofill in Madrid: the City in the Space (1970)”, in charge of Ramon Faura, and M. Fisac, C. Ortiz Echagüe, R. Echaide Itarte, SEAT (1950-1960)” in charge of Paolo Sustersic in the frame of the course “Architectures Madrid-Barcelona. Approaches, affirmations, exchanges” of the Consorcio Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo Barcelona (CUIMPB) – Centro Ernest Lluch, in Barcelona, in June of 2014. • Obtaining of the Doctorate by teachers Paolo Sustersic and Albert Fuster. Course Adaptation During the 2013-2014 course, the third edition of the Corse in Adaptation of Bachelor’s Degree in Design in the Degree in Design took place. Given that there is no intention of starting a new edition, it’s worth pointing out that, in the three editions that were carried out, 136 ELISAVA Design graduates have obtained the degree approved in the European Higher Education Area. This new degree gives wide professional, academic and research possibilities to recent graduates, essential for a designer with curiosity and a will to innovate.

TECNHICAL ENGINEERING IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN / DEGREE IN ENGINEERING IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN General Overview The 2013-2014 academic year has been a consolidation course where the engineer of ELISAVA has found the way in the project and has understood his role as an engineer of industrial design in the professional world. The promotion of this course has been excellent. The main objectives of the 2013-2014 academic year were as follows: Firstly, the development of the projects of the container and packaging modules, materials and simulation, apart from the Final Degree Project, leveraging the synergies of collaborations with the necessary enterprises for the complete achievement studies-related competencies. Second, wrap up the restructuring of the Degree project area in order to ensure that students acquire the project-related skills. Third, enhance students’ graphic-communication and oral-expository capacity in their tasks and projects. The aim is for them to integrate their own “design culture” expertise to the technical and instrumental training inherent in engineering studies. Fourth, to implement correctly the subjects in the Science and Technology area, Materials and Sustainability and Product Development of the Simultaneous Study Plan, so that students of the second year of the Degree in Design that join the GDI enjoy an appropriate continuity in their scientific and technologic learning process. Fifth, to carry out the restructuring of management subjects of the third and fourth course, focusing towards entrepreneurship attitude in order to learn the bases of business dynamics, in addition to offering them in English. Sixth, to work towards closing the project and product circle and position some of the resulting products in the market. Seventh, begin to study the suitability of the Degree elective courses as well as the skills that would be acquired with such optional subjects. Emphasis should be placed on current industrial, social and economic realities, as well as the Degree’s internationalisation. Activities Design for Cleaning Days These sessions have reflected on the problems that come from situations in which the determinants of the need to clean can give innovative design solutions.

TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE / DEGREE IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BUILDING General Overview The objective of the 2013-2014 academic year has been to maintain academic excellence, while focusing on phasing away the degree. This academic year has been the last year in which the Technical Architecture degree has been offered. Activities The studies of Science and Technology Building have organised and hosted the “Urban Re-generation” international workshop, from the March 17 to 28, 2014, in which nine European universities have participated with the objective of reflecting on the urban regeneration taking into account the architecture factors and of urban planning, as well as social and sustainability aspects. The event attracted the presence of 80 teachers and students from the following universities: FH Salzburg (Austria), Seinäjoki UAS (Finland), Vilnius Gediminas TU (Lithuania), University of Forestry (Bulgaria), Mendel University (Czech Republic), Istanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi (Turkey), Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart (Germany), Thomas More University

(Belgium) and ELISAVA, which shared ideas and experiences in the different work sessions and lectures organised as a part of the EU Erasmus Intensive Programme. Participants worked with a concrete study case based on buildings as a whole for the “La Pau” neighbourhood in Barcelona, built in 60’s with buildings for soldiers. In this context, topics like the connection of the buildings with the public space were discussed, the new collective and private uses in the buildings and the possibilities of selfsufficiency and the use of renewable energies. An outside jury that consists of Amadeu Santacana, architect and teacher at ETSAB, Rafael Gómez Moriana, architect, critic and teacher in the University of Calgary, and Ricardo Guasch, academic director of ELISAVA, evaluated and valued all the proposals presented, and the work carried out during two weeks was valued very positively. The winning project was “CUB” by Camila Pagnussatti, Milena Valkova, Thomas Sommerauer, Oriol Fornieles and Radek Pokora. Studetns’ proposal consists of providing the building and the surrounding public space with some cube-shaped modules for very different uses: offices, libraries, urban gardens, shops, living spaces, leisure or rest space, etc. Additionally, during these fifteen days there were some lectures related to the workshop theme, and different international relations were established, which have lead to the request of a new EU Erasmus Intensive Programme. Final Degree Project The Final Degree Project has been focused on research in the restoration of existent buildings, adding new professional fields such as building sustainability, new habitat models and architecture, the management and inclusion of new industrial processes, the development of materials, etc. The proposal of the School took into account the project of the refurbishment of a building in Barcelona, taking into account the advice of tutors expert in structures, installations, building techniques and sustainability. Specifically, it’s the residential refurbishment and modification project for the Can Fabra building, an industrial unit built in 1838 and located in the Sant Andreu neighbourhood of Barcelona. The objective was the total restoration of the building, taking advantage of its fundamental elements, structure and windows, adapting it to residential use. The functional programme consists of venues and accesses to the buildings on the ground floor, and single-bedroom, two-bedroom flats and duplex apartments in the rest of the plants. has to consider the correct use of space for a user which is of yet undefined and, consequently, the project should be considered as an open, scalable process that could enable future users to modify it according to their needs. The intention is to overcome the obsolete stereotype

Curricular Internships and Visits In the second trimester, all students did curricular internships with different companies of the Engineering and Architecture fields, such as research centres. In the framework of the subject “Integrated Project X. Professional Management” some visits to sites were organised: • Building of multifamily housing, with two basements to be used for car parks, ground floors for retail and ground floors for housing, in the foundation-building phase in Sant Just. • Visit to two detached houses, with basement and three ground-floors, in excavation phase, in Sant Cugat.

SIMULTANEOUS STUDY PLAN General Overview The 2013-2014 course has been full of expectations and excitement with the challenge of the Simultaneous Study Plan, which contains the philosophy, spirit, quality and brand of ELISAVA while generating a new professional profile with the capacity of facing the new, present and future challenges of our society and our industrial fabric, with an obvious international outlook. The Simultaneous Study Plan has been engaged in the academic field and contents for more than two years, with a great amount of work on behalf of all the team involved in the development of this teaching model, unique in Spain, and with few analogue studies in the international context, making it an almost pioneering initiative.

In this course, 21 students of the initial profiles – Degree in Design and Degree in Industrial Design Engineering – have found a work space in common where they have started to consolidate some competences that should make it possible to achieve the set objectives with this new profile once they are done with their degree in six academic years at the School. Objectives The main objectives of the 2013-2014 course have been, firstly, the real adaptation of competencies and contents of studies in the teaching methodology applied to the Design and Engineering itineraries so that students in the second year who join these studies see an appropriate continuity in their learning process. A secondary emphasis has been the adaptation and training of teachers for their new challenges, both in terms of competencies and methodology. These challenges stem from this new course featuring two itineraries which are very different in the beginning, but culminating in a single professional profile at the end of the programme. In this sense, the School relied on teachers that are able to understand the spaciousness of both initial studies and the complexity of the resulting profile in order to be able to attend with accuracy, rigour and creativity the pedagogical demands of students. Special thanks, in that sense, to the total involvement of all the teaching staff that has participated in this first edition of this programme. Thirdly, the School management was aware of the need for strengthening the integration capacity of students of both itineraries through the project. It was important that the students of both itineraries could recognise themselves as a solid group that could share concerns, solutions and common challenges. Fourthly, the programme aims to create and provide the integration space called “aula abierta” (open class) with contents. In this space, three quarterly projects will be carried out with the challenge of carrying out the third project with the direct participation of an outside company. Educational Activities The main educational activities encouraged by the Simultaneous Study Plan in the open class and within the framework of some subjects, beyond the activities that are narrowly related to the content of the subjects, have been: First trimester • “Science and Communication” project, monitored by Albert Fuster and Javier Peña. • Participation of the students in the Creative Marathon, in December of 2013, an event promoted by the students of the Degree programmes of the School.

Second trimester • Project “Plataform for the kid”, monitored by Josep Novell. Third trimester • Project “New concepts of vehicles for preschool kids” monitored by Sergi Vich and developed with the IMC TOYS enterprise. • Workshop and lecture in the care of Attua Aparicio, from SiloStudio. • Lecture “Design and Games”, in the care of Curro Claret. • In the subject “Material Selection” and monitored by Javier Peña, a project has been developed: “Development of a system for the treatment of wounds with larva of Lucilia sericata”. This project has relied on the help of the Instituto de Biología Evolutiva from CSIC - UPF. • In the subject “Projects III” there has been developed a project about exhibition space design in the Vinçon hall, monitored by Steffano Colli and Raffaella Perrone.

Master’s Degree in Design and Communication General Overview The sixth edition of the Master’s Degree in Design and Communication (MUDIC) has taken place during this academic year. It belongs to the official programme of the Postgraduate programme in Social Communication in the department of Journalism and Audiovisual Communication at the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF). The MUDIC has achieved the methodological proposed objectives that included: • To provide students with a competitive professional and innovative profile with the most recent criteria and trends in design and communication and of its application both in the business and the public administration fields. • To offer the methodological sources and the necessary tools for the analysis and formal appropriateness of a strategy. • To give students various theoretical and practical tools to develop the capacity of creativity, attraction and persuasion, as well as their competence for critical analysis and team management. • To fuel the debate about technology as a tool and support for communication and transmission. • The defence of two doctoral theses by former students of the MUDIC in the UPF. • The fulfilment of 13 extracurricular internship agreements with enterprises and institutions. During the 2013-2014 edition some projects of the previous course have been collected in the 2013 Year Book. A video and a promotio-

nal brochure have also been distributed. The Year Book with the 20 projects of 2014-2015 is in the design phase. It’s important to point out that the paperwork and the speeding-up of the course and its projection through the social networks have been a success thanks to the hiring of four former students who collaborate. They have joined the existent team of eight people. In that sense, the course blog (mudicelisava.com) has been an important tool in disseminating the events related to the MUDIC. In the current edition of the MUDIC, there a total of 72 teachers have participated, 50% of whom hold a doctorate or are professors and the other 50% of which comprises well-known professionals. Students have obtained an average grade of 7.9 in the Master’s final dissertation, a subject that is worth 33% of the ECTS. Additionally, student satisfaction surveys have shown that 100% of them would recommend the course. Activities The teaching methodology of the course lessons are combined with different activities like extracurricular visits to companies such as Integrated Printing Process (SyL) and to technical exhibitions in MATER-FAD, the typography FUTURA by Bauer Types in the French Institute, exhibitions of Ricardo Rousselot and the ones in Can Framis. Students have also attended different conferences and round tables in various organisms and entities and have taken part in activities such as the Q&A with José María Piera from SCPF, the workshop “A portrait of my neighbourhood” that took place with the design department of the Politecnico di Milano, and the “Workshop in large-format printing and binding techniques” that took place in ELISAVA’s Graphic Workshop. Furthermore, students have been invited to MOOC format courses about HTML5 and CSS3, and have travelled to Moià, in the region of the Bages, in order to develop a promotion and communication project suggested by the cultural authorities of this town. International Visibility In this field, the most remarkable thing is the participation of three former MUDIC students as speakers at the “2CO, Communicating Complexity. International Design Conference”, that took place October 25 and 26 in Alghero (Italy). Jordi Cano, co-director of the MUDIC, took part in this same event with a presentation for exchange students in the University of Sardinia (Italy). The MUDIC has also been represented in two international conferences about education that were held in Norway and Spain. Dr. Juan Jesús Arrausi, co-director of the MUDIC, was present at both events. He presented the talk “New Challenges, new strategies in research applied to design and communication” (Second International Conference for Design Education Researchers. DRS/CUMULUS Design

learning for tomorrow, held May 16 in Oslo, Norway) and “An approach to the understanding, practice and communication of the design process through graphical schema” (ICEILT, International Congress on Education, Innovation and Learning Technologies, that took place from July 23 to 25 in Barcelona). Institutional Contacts On the subject of institutional contacts, there has been an exchange of teachers through the Erasmus programme with the Politecnico di Milano. This group of teachers have given a three-day course to MUDIC students. MUDIC leaders are also expected to travel to Milano in order to attend some classes in November of 2014. With regard to the connections with other well-known universities, the ESAG in Paris, the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina and the University of Castello Branco in Portugal are the ones that stand out.

Master’s Degrees and Postgraduate Diplomas area of SPACE DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE Master’s Degree in Advanced Design and Digital Architecture Postgraduate Diploma in BioDesign Laboratory Postgraduate Diploma in Computational Design Laboratory In the present edition of the Master’s degree programme, and with the experience of the last years, we have showed that the programme is able to propose an avant-garde architecture and, at the same time, be a benchmark in the international panorama in research and development of architecture and computing design. In order to reinforce its international visibility, the Master’s degree programme has continued to establish relationships with other universities, and in this occasion, we have carried out a workshop of the MDIT in the RMIT University in Melbourne (Australia), which points to the beginning of future collaborations. As a demonstration of research carried out in the programme, students have designed and manufactured two large prototypes, which has made it possible to go into detail about the fields of space design, design and manufacturing of materials, design of actuation systems, control engineering and design of the demonstration prototype. It is important to point out the creation of the new website of the course: www.addamaster.net, in collaboration with the teaching staff of the programme, and the dissemination of activities carried out through social media.

The general overview of the programme has been very positive, succeeding in generating an important theoretical legacy and going into detail about students’ research concerns, a priority in the methodology of the course. The qualitative and training evolution of the Master’s degree programme goes one step further towards the next academic year, when the master’s degree programme will only have one edition that will last for a year or one and a half years, a decision aimed at improving the internationalisation of the programme. It is a new stage that starts with the implementation of new proposals, contents and instruments with an innovative and competitive line from the programme’s management and teaching staff.

Master’s Degree in Retail Space: Retail Design Postgraduate Diploma in Retail Design. Design and Space: Shopping Postgraduate Diploma in Retail Design. Design and Concept: The Brand In relation to the 2013-2014 academic year, it is important to point out the design project of the Sony Barcelona shop window carried out by the students. The Master’s Degree programme also carried out other projects with enterprises, like the inside window dressing of the Vinçon shop or the design of two commercial spaces in the framework of the REC 0.8 event (an event of ephemeral commercial spaces that currently takes place in Igualada). Students have also collaborated with Word Duty Airport Shops at international level with Agustín Camara, head of Division. This Master’s Degree programme is offered in two languages (English and Spanish) with the intention of providing the students with an approach to the Retail Design (commercial spaces) professional world and the leadership tools required to work in this field in which all the aspects that are involved or take part in the design process. The course shows a multidisciplinary vision of Retail, which participates in all sectors. The programme has some extraordinary tutorials, which aim to complement the detailed monitoring of the projects carried out to make sure that they are developed within the established parameters by the management of the Master’s Degree programme and briefing from enterprises. The students of the Master’s Degree in Commercial Space Design come from different disciplines: architects, interior designers, industrial designers and some graphic designers, marketing professionals, strategy experts and international expansion specialists. It’s important to point out that some of the students have professional work experience, although they don’t necessarily have previous specific training, so that is why they are previously required to acquire some basic technical knowledge in order to develop spatial projects. The Master’s Degree programme features an action plan based on learning process organised into thematic modules that are both

of conventional housing thought for standard families that don’t meet changing situations in new ways of living. The proposal has to include quality elements and use material and economic resources in keeping with a social housing project, as well as allow for efficient and costeffective maintenance. Other topics developed by the students were as follows: • Building techniques in wood according to the Mediterranean tradition, carried out with the advice of the PHOHOLZ Enterprise (Australia). • Energy poverty and improvement of energy efficiency, carried out within the framework of “Real Projects” under the direction of Jordi Claret Martí, architect at ETSAV (UPC). • New technologies of the building with a biomedical, parametric and mathematical design, carried out under the supervision of architect Jordi Truco. • Health and habitat: “habisalutómetro”, carried out under the guidance of Toni Solanas, architect.

Master’s Degree in Interior Design Postgraduate Diploma in Interior Space Design. Private Perimeters Postgraduate Diploma in Design of Work Space The Master’s Degree in Interior Design is taught though different views pointed towards the domestic space and the space design in the working environment. In the tenth edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Interior Space, students have developed an interior design project (restoration, furniture design, etc.) and the gardening of a fisherman house in Vilassar de Mar for a very different client profile, different to the standard user: an educated family with little kids. The development of the project has been overseen by some teachers specialised in cabinetmaking, locksmithing, lighting and landscapes, in addition to the usual tutors, and has allowed students to explore contemporary ways of life developed in conventional spaces of undeniable patrimonial value. The Postgraduate programme has relied on the participation of pioneer companies in the interior design field (Vinçon, Arpa, Valentine, Cricursa, Azulacocsa, Ceys, etc.) and of prestigious professionals, architects and interior designers such as Isabel López, Agnès Blanch, Marcos Catalán, Igor Urdampilleta, Anatxu Zabalbeascoa and Josep Lluís Mateo, who gave the closing lecture of the programme in the Barcelona Roca Gallery. In the context of the course, the students have made some visits to finished works and works still in process, which have been discussed by their authors. The list of all the activities can be seen in the blog of the course: http://perimetros. elisava.net, can be followed on www.facebook. com/PostgradoEspacioInteriorElisava and can be seen through pictures http://pinterest.com/ perimetros/. The 12th edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Design of Work Space has based its final Project in the remodelling of the Centre Obert of the Arrels Foundation, an organisation devoted to taking care of the homeless. Given the special characteristics of this place, providing shelter services together with the Foundation’s offices, the Project has been a challenge for students because they had to incorporate the social component to their proposals. The involvement of the people responsible in Arrels in the development of the projects has been translated into the supervision of all the process and its presence in the correction sessions. In general terms, students have accomplished the functional requirements and have

given solutions from the economic and production process point of view. The results were very satisfying and open the door to a possible real application of the presented proposals. The consolidated programme of the course has made it possible to intensify the design of furniture and graphic design aspects this year with the presence of teachers specialised in the “Specific and System Equipment” module. The Postgraduate Diploma has relied on the presence of some well-known professionals, such as architect Jordi Badia and designer Curro Claret, who have shared their experience with lectures related to the works and main projects of the course. Furthermore, it is important to point out the participation of companies like Philips, IGuzzini and Essa Punt in the development of the programme. Just like in previous editions, students have visited characteristic buildings and interiors such as the Alta Diagonal, Coworking MOP or Interface, and manufacturing enterprises of the field such as Dyna Mobel. The summary of all these activities can be seen in the blog www.dedt.elisava.net, and also in www.facebook.com/coordinador.dedt, also showing the publishing of reference texts, course exercises and all activities carried out.

Master’s Degree in Design and Habitat Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Habitat Design: Mobility and Temporality Postgraduate Diploma in Eco-habitat. Designing Eco-efficient Housing in Barcelona The Master’s Degree in Design and Habitat, which deals with the habitat idea and the serious consideration of its socio-efficiency and eco-efficiency aspects, is focused on the housing practices related to the new demands of sustainability, environment and habitability. In its fourth edition, the Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Habitat Design: Mobility and Temporality (HEMT) has based its project design activity on the hypothesis of the temporary residential modification of the huge unaffected industrial structure in the Tabacalera industry in Tarragona. The project had a double objective: first, to give accommodation to the more than four thousand people (athletes and coaches) who will participate in the 2017 Mediterranean Games and, secondly, to create a new set of tools spread out to facilitate the welcome housing and other temporary activities related to this event. Students worked under the premise of double efficiency. On the one hand, they wanted to ensure material efficiency to achieve lightweight, dry assemblage and detachable solutions. On the other hand, they worked to achieve the highest level of socio-efficiency by double and consecutive reversibility in the use of the unaffected building. The theoretical display, which always accompanies the Postgraduate programme, looked at existing and missing habitable

structures, both in the hotel industry and the emergency housing and the university campuses. With the objective of reinforcing decisions to be taken in the main project, a couple of workshops took place together with a review of the “project design operators” of contemporary habitat. The breakdown of all the activities is detailed in the blog at www. hemt.elisava.net. The fifth edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Eco-habitat has taken place focusing on the integration and development of sustainability strategies at a city scale, of the building and the rehabilitation of social and multifamily houses with the introduction of social and energy vectors as strategic motors. Along these lines, both the main project and the workshops carried out were related to the La Pau neighbourhood. The workshops, carried out with the collaboration of neighbours’ associations, were focused on the urban and sociological analysis in a participative workshop. A prototype in 1:1 scale of a community device co-created with neighbours’ inputs was designed and created and the energy certification of one of the buildings of the neighbourhood was completed. In order to be able to address this level of complexity, students have been provided with skills for autonomous research and have received assistance from the best lecturers in the field of eco-efficiency and the visit to seven key works discussed by authors themselves: Solar Decathlon proposals and Students’ Hall in ETSAV, energy rehabilitation of the Trinitat neighbourhood, rehabilitation of the housing building in Sant Vicenç dels Horts, SATE in Berga, social housing in Cerdanyola del Vallès, Casa MZ passivhaus and the ICTA. In order to ensure project development, the students have also received training in calculating computer tools of thermal bridges (THERM) and in energy certification (CE3X). Students have also participated actively in the creation of the blog for the course where the projects are detailed (www.ecobiohabitat.com).

Postgraduate Diploma in Set Design The second edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Set Design reaffirms the potential of ELISAVA in training designers specialised in Performance Arts and Stage Arts. Some of the organisations that have contributed to the consolidation of this first-class programme include the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Auditori of Sant Cugat, the Minoria Absoluta producer, the Focus enterprise, Sónar and La Perla29 company. The presence of well-known professionals in the teaching faculty of the course has been very enriching, including Sergi Caballero, artistic director of Sónar, Pep Gatell, artistic director of Fura dels Baus, stage designer Max Glaenzel, cultural journalist Toni Puntí, and stage designers Lluís Danès and Alfons Flores. This edition of the programme has scree-

ned for the first time the Mindscape full-length film, presented by its director, Jorge Dorado, and product designer Alain Bainée, two years before its official debut in the International Fantasy Film Festival of Catalonia in Sitges. Fashion designer Lurdes Bergara has been the person in charge of directing the “Creation” workshop, three intense sessions to address creation in a spontaneous way, the prelude to the two workshops of projects based on designing from a script. These were the “Set Design Workshop to be represented live”, directed by Sebastià Brossa and based on the work and the images of Federico García Lorca in The house of Bernarda Alba, which concluded with some amazing proposals; and the “Project of Recorded Set Design”, by Sylvia Steinbrecht and Joan Sabaté, which is inspired by the script of the film Domestic Animals for the creation of various design proposals for a new full-length film called “Crossing the limit”, by Xavi Giménez. Students have followed the evolution of the staging of the Say goodbye to childhood play, directed by Oriol Broggi and set by Sebastià Brosa, from LaPerla29, and have explored the intricacies of the world of opera set design, led by the technical director and the production director of the Gran Teatre del Liceu, thanks to the monitoring and the technical visit behind the scenes of Jules Massenet’s Cendrillon. It is also important to point out that all the participants in the Postgraduate Diploma have done internships in companies like the Arriskam producer, the Minoria Absoluta producer and Castelao Pictures, or have worked with Max Glaenzel, Sebastià Brosa and Maria Puig.

Master’s Degree in Design, Art and Public Space Postgraduate Diploma in Exterior Design, Events and Ephemeral Spaces Postgraduate Diploma in Design, Art and Society The main goal of the Master’s Degree in Design, Art and Public Space consists of finding intervention strategies in order to promote the community use of public space. This investigation is conducted through proximity, establishing collaborations with entities, associations and inhabitants of a concrete place. In accordance with this premise and based on the proposal of Idensitat and the City Hall of Santa Coloma de Gramenet, a large part of the proposals developed throughout the course have been framed along the river of the city and its relation with the Besòs river. Establishing relations with institutions and citizen events, a project in cooperation with the Setmana de Poesia (The Poetry Week) of Barcelona with the collaboration of Sam Abrams, one of its directors, has been carried out during the course. In the framework of the programme and in the SNTK BESÒS LAB event, students have taken part in the mobile device workshop, orga-

nised by Idensitat and taught by Makea, consistent with the realization of a touring device from a concrete case addressed to a collective or an entity of the neighbourhood. The practical experience, carried out in the Can Peixauet cupola, has been used for the closure of the course. The students of the Master’s Degree in Design, Art and Public Space have been able to attend conferences organised for the programme such as, among others, the one held by Pep Gatell, artistic director of the Fura dels Baus, the one held by the artists Josep M. Martin, Jordi Canudas and Núria Güell (all of them with outstanding works related to action and social participation), the one held by writer Javier Pérez Andújar, and the lecture given by Antoni Miralda in the Barcelona Food Cultura space, where he explained the characteristics and objectives of this entity. Furthermore, the students have visited exhibitions like “Llapis i acció” (Pencil and Action) by curator Mercè Alsina, “Megafone.net” with its author, Antoni Abad, in the MACBA and facilities like the one in the Born Centre Cultural, where they took a guided tour accompanied by Anton Hansen of the Croquis company. All activities developed included a visit to the city of Girona, which enabled them to establish a connection between the public space and cultural heritage.

Master’s Degree in Branding Postgraduate Diploma in Brands, Core of Communications Postgraduate Diploma in Innovating through Brands In the present edition, the Master’s Degree in Branding has consolidated its trajectory and has counted on the participation of professional experts in this field that come from the most well-known national and international consultancies, such as Interbrand, Saphron, Summa and CBA Graells, among others. The overall assessment of the students has been very positive and the development of the programme has reaffirmed its interest and satisfaction for the overall vision that Branding offers. In the context of Postgraduate Diploma in Brands, Core of Communications, students have carried out a fictitious projectthesis about Strategic Branding, which was presented to the brand representatives from companies such as Bimbo (Thins), Unilever (Axe) and Novartis (Rhinomer), obtaining very positive feedback both in the strategic aspects and in the creative and formal ones. The Postgraduate Diploma in Innovating through Brands has likewise been based on the comprehension of the big changes that

involve the new technologies in the marketing world and the opportunities that stem from the management, creation and development of brands, and also how branding can be a key success factor in all that. The students have had the opportunity to attend the master classes taught by professionals that are setting trends in the new situation of the marketing world, and have shared experiences with investors and startup managers at different stages of their careers. Xavi Guardia, CEO of Sfy, contributed to the course. Sfy is a company that develops contents for augmented reality devices (Google Glass). The project-thesis carried out has been based on a fictitious world thought up by the students (“Fiction Design”). The results have been very interesting and enriching and have helped students understand innovation as an “attitude” towards the challenges set by the market. The students successfully presented their projects to professionals linked to the innovation world, in some open sessions broadcasted through ELISAVA‘s Streaming Channel.

Master’s Degree in Packaging Design Postgraduate Diploma in Packaging Design and Strategy Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic and Structural Packaging Design The Master’s Degree in Packaging design is still teaching students to become professionals, teaching graphic and industrial designers how to become specialists in this field. The key, one more year, has been the undertaking of a programme which is very practical, without neglecting subjects that help students have an open view towards everything that happens around them. The Postgraduate Diploma in Design and Packaging Strategy, which is about the graphic communication part, complements the workshops with theoretical and practical classes about Trends, Branding, Neuromarketing, Creativity, Lettering and Typography with Enric Jardí (www.enricjardi.com). These workshops, which are the base of the programme, are transversal and are directed by well-known professionals of the sector. Overall, there have been six workshops (Restyling Packaging, Packaging of High Consumer Products, Gourmet Packaging, Fragrances Packaging and Wine Packaging) by Enric Aguilera (www. enricaguilera.com), Pati Núñez (www.patinunez.com), Jordi Almuni and Xavier Bas (www. xavierbas.com). One more year, some projects for reallife clients have been carried out, which have obtained awards as recognition of the effort and talent of our students. For example, work has been done for perfumers Antonio Puig with the Branding and Graphic competition, directed by Jordi Torrents and Eva Minguella. There was also the participation of two scho-

Master’s Degree in Design and Internet Web Project Direction Postgraduate Diploma in Web Project Management and Design Postgraduate Diploma in Design of Network Applications and Services In the ninth edition, and under the direction of David Casacuberta, Ariel Guersenzvaig and Rosa Llop, the Master’s Degree has consolidated its educational programme enabling students to develop projects specifically designed for the Internet, taking into account the contemporary values of this medium and its design specificities. The fact that a group of students of our Master’s Degree — Miquel Mir, Karla Dorado and Enric Blas — have obtained the Laus Gold Award in the category of Master’s degree students and the Laus Aporta Students Award for the social function of design this year proves the consolidation of the ultimate philosophy of the course. The offered contents seek to provide global training with which students can learn to develop functional prototypes in the design and programming fields, for websites, applications and Internet-based services. The Master’s Degree has likewise promoted the entrepreneurial spirit of the medium, including strategic definition contents, positioning, business creation and fundraising. The methodology aims to help students feel able not only to be creative on the Internet, but to direct the development of innovative projects. The key framework of the Master’s Degree final project has been developed together with the BulliFoundation with the develop-

ment of proposals for services on the Internet that come from the contents of the Bullipèdia (a website), reaching top-level results, both in the project description and in the prototypes developed. This year, the Master’s Degree has strengthened its teaching team, that consists of active professionals of the field related to university teaching, with whom students have been able to establish a relationship of trust in their learning process. The main teaching team consists of teachers Marta Armada, José Usobiaga, Albert Carles, Karina Ibarra, Lander Muruaga, Jordi Espuny, Daniel Julià, Ferran Pruneda, Tona Monjo, Javier Velilla, Victor Solà and Oriol Ibars, apart from the directors of the course. Some of the activities carried out have been lectures and internships, workshops and master classes. Some professionals linked to the field have also been invited in order to explain case studies and subjects in which they are experts, like Irene Pereyra (UX Director of f-i.com), Lluis Villa (UX Director of Fjord.com), and the Ladies that UX international collective to debate the visibility of women in the technological field.

Master’s Degree in Graphic Design Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Design Applied to Communication Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Design and Publishing Projects The Master’s Degree in Graphic Design, with a solid academic and teaching structure, continues with its professionally-oriented spirit through the dynamics of problem solving. The programme has permanently consolidated the figures of the typographic consultant and of the tutors of each one of its postgraduate programmes as the reference point for student monitoring and development. The Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Design Applied to Communication has been developed with a multidisciplinary project around the topic of the “The credit”, understood like a basic parameter to reflect and make graphic communication projects in the current complex context. The Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Design and Publishing Projects, however, much more specific, has undertaken three main projects related to the fields of the book, the magazine and digital publication. Course students have attended a workshop, express capsules of research and experimentation that makes it possible to go beyond main projects. The list of projects has been: “Co-creation and Socratic dialogue”, by Humberto Schwab (www. humbertoschwab.net), “Graphic expression”, by Borja Martínez (www. losiento.net), “Graphic Expression”, by Javier Jaen (www.javierjaen.com), “Exhibition”, by José Manuel Fernandez (www.lagranjadesign.com); “Covers”, carried out by Bendita Gloria (www. benditagloria.com), “The digital and analogical designer”, by Bis gràfic (www.bisgrafic.com),

“Editorial Content” taught by Serge Rompza (www.nodeberlin.com), and “Press”, with Omar Sosa (www. apartamentomagazine.com). Furthermore, some showcases have been presented and directed by their own authors, such as Javier Pereda (www.javierpereda.com), Mario Eskenazi (www.m-eskenazi.com), Oriol Armengou (www.toormix.com), Dani Navarro (www.forma.co), Iñigo Jerez (www.extraestudio. com) and Martí Ferré (www.bildi.net). Of all activities developed within the framework of the Master’s degree in Graphic Design, the most remarkable ones are the master classes, open to all publics, offered by relevant international figures such as Liza Enebeis (www.studiodumbar.com), Alan Dye and Nick Finney (www.nbstudio.co.uk), Hervé Rigal (www.Basedesign.com), John Morgan (www. morganstudio.co.uk), Mirko Borsche (www. mirkoborsche.com) and Adrian Shaughnessy (www.shaughnessyworks.com). In both postgraduate programmes, students have worked on a final presentation of their projects in an open exhibition format carried out outside of the ELISAVA facilities, specifically in Barcelona’s mucho studio (www. wearemucho.com), in the case of the Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Design Applied to Communication, and Barcelona’s Cosmo gallery (www.galeriacosmo.com) for the Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic Design and Publishing Projects.

Master’s Degree in Design and Art Direction Postgraduate Diploma in Design and Communication Strategies Postgraduate Diploma in Art Direction The Master’s Degree in Design and Art Direction has stood out in the present edition because of the awards obtained with students’ projects. Natalia Lara, Marc Medina and Juliana Duque won the HIV Think Tank contest (CESIDA) with the collaboration of Janssen. Through this project, young university students have wanted to get involved in the fight against HIV and promote a change in behaviour. The contest showed 62 projects from 26 university centres and from 30 different professionals and, of all of them, the finalist was ELISAVA’s “Noise against AIDS”, which will become the new national campaign against HIV, inviting young people to lead a revolution to achieve a generation free of HIV. In the framework of the course, it’s worth mentioning the development of the promotion and communication project “Eco Museu del Moianès”, requested by the cultural authorities of this region, which stands out because of its proximity tourism potential thanks to the excellent conservation of preindustrial buildings. Students of the programme visited this place, where they also carried out some workshops. In the context of the curricular activities, students took part in the graphic edition workshop, in charge of Rafael Pozo, where

they performed their own bookbinding projects in ELISAVA’s Graphic Workshop. The “World Tour” workshops of the project took place in the Soon studio in Tokyo, led Ángelo Palma and Javi Donada. One more year, the Master’s Degree in Design and Art Direction has relied on the presence of well-known professionals as invited lecturers to give some master classes. There have been some lectures about the new communication paradigms related to communication in the 21st century. Among the lecturers, it’s worth pointing out the presence of Joan Costa, considered one of the main precursor of the scientific field in the communication and design world. He talked about the power of communication against actions, and Franc Aleu, National Award of Culture by the Generalitat de Catalunya and frequent collaborator in the multidisciplinary group La Fura dels Baus, dealt with mapping as a language of significant impact in the communication world, both leisure, social and commercial.

Master’s Degree in Advertising Design and Communication Postgraduate Diploma in Design and Communication Strategies Postgraduate Diploma in Advertising Design and Creativity The Master’s Degree in Advertising Design and Communication promotes its students’ projects thanks to the collaboration established, since the beginning, with companies and institutions, and also the activities carried out from their blog. This platform, that shows contents related to the new strategy and market trends, has gone a step further this year and has created a new section, Works in the World, which showcases the projects of former students. These projects include the one by Julia Silva and Miguel Aza, who have travelled around the world exchanging design services for accommodation and food during more than a year. The activity of the Master’s Degree programme has increased this year with the incorporation of channels in Twitter and Facebook. The Beef Method has been used during the course, developed by Víctor Curto, Jordi Cano and Gem Romero, teachers of the Master’s Degree Programme. It suggests a trip around different stages of the brainstorming process and makes it possible to validate progressively the objectives achieved during the process, both in the analysis phase and the creative part. Within the framework of 21st century communication, students have been able to attend some lectures about the new models of communication given by well-known professionals of the sector. Among them are: Romà Gubern, mass media historian; Angel Herraiz, founder of Herraiz&Soto, who showed the importance of entrepreneurship and its impact in our society; Jonàs Sala, founder of the Verkami crowdfunding platform, which introduced new

funding concepts; Beatriz Barco, scriptwriter in the TV programme Redes, about the functioning of the creative brain; economist Laura Soler, who taught students new ways of perceiving and transmitting creativity as a directive activity; Daniel Solana, president and founding partner of the DoubleYou, who based his lecture on the possibilities of interactive advertising; and art director in cinema and advertising Antxón Gómez. In addition, students of the Master’s Degree programme attended and participated in a rehearsal of the “MURS” show, in the field of the Total Event, from the Fura dels Baus, which inaugurated the Greek Festival 2014 in the Montjuïc Castle. Pep Gatell showed students resources, trip management and control of the public’s movements as if they were previously designed choreographies.

Master’s Degree in Photography and Design Postgraduate Diploma in Photography and Design: Image and Creation Postgraduate Diploma in Photography and Design: Space, Media and Broadcasting During the 2013-2014 academic year, students of the Master’s Degree in Photography and Design developed, planned, managed and carried out a public intervention in the Photography International Festival in Arles (France). The project, called INFINITE VIEW, was a reflection on the infinite reproduction of images in digital media and questioned if this affected our perception and understanding or if the meaning of the image was altered. This intervention involved two actions in the public space, which turned the streets of the city in an imaginary museum. The result of this project was published in a book in collaboration with Instagrafic. During the course, students have worked in a specific project for the Vila Casas Foundation, which sees the Can Framis Museum as a central photographic element. The result of this project will be shown in the Can Framis facade. Students also took part in an advertising photography workshop given by José Mª Roca for the development of projects, which were later presented in the “YoungCreatives” international photography contest organised by Chevrolet. On the other hand, the student Peili Dong has organised an individual exhibition within the framework of the documental photography festival DOCFIELD 14, organised by Photographic Social Vision. Moreover, the students of the Master’s Degree in Photography and Design attended fashion photography workshop with photographer Bernard Arce and worked together with the students of the ELISAVA Master’s Degree in Fashion Design, carrying out a photography campaign for each one of the collections designed. Student Laura Peña participated in the photography contest of

the 080 fashion festival, organised by the Barcelona City Council, in which many photography schools of the city also participated. Laura was a finalist in the contest. The best final projects by the students of the Master’s Degree in Photography and Design were exhibited in the Mitte Gallery in Barcelona in September, in an exhibition organised, planned and curated by programme students, which took the pedagogic experience outside the classroom. These projects have also been exhibited in Las Arenas, in an exhibition designed and organised by students Sabela Eiriz and Heymin Kwon. Within the framework of the Master’s Degree, different lectures were organised with professionals of the image sector such as Pepe Baeza, graphic editor of La Vanguardia, photographers Ricard Martinez and Txema Salvans, the NoPhoto and Piel de Foto Collective and Maria Canudas, of La Caixa Foundation. Other activities in the programme include a lot of visits to photography and contemporary art exhibitions, and a significant number of lectures and talks. Moreover, it is the second time that different students of the Master’s Degree have participated in the Paso de Zebra festival, organised by the Mucha Fibra collective in Barcelona’s Raval neighbourhood.

Postgraduate Diploma in Comic and Illustration The first edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Comic and Illustration has achieved its objectives, marked by an important experimental spirit and oriented to help students to search, understand and assume the changes experienced in the draughtsman profession, and to help them find their place in the international panorama. With this objective, the course has emphasised providing the student with the necessary keys to be able to integrate professionally in the illustration, comic and graphic creation world through the development and execution of a commercial project and/or a personal project with real clients. During this process, students have been motivated for the development of their personal brand and personal style, given that the key of success consists in detecting and following one’s own path. The balanced contents of the programme have made it possible to deal with the Illustration and the Comic field appropriately, providing knowledge from the experience and from a more abstract approach, that is, locating the contemporary graphic phenomenon in the annual currents of thought. The results obtained have made clear that students understand the professional operation of the Comic and the Illustration fields and an improvement in the quality of its proposals, with really high motivation and general enthusiasm. The present edition has been full of small achievement and triumphs. It is important to point out that the two orders set out by two real

ols from the United States, of which ELISAVA has been the winner. Additionally, students Laia Fusté and Carine Attar have obtained a Laus Bronze and an Ei! Award respectively with projects carried out within the framework of the programme. The Postgraduate Diploma in Graphic and Structure Packaging design, which complements the previous course, is based on the communication and design of packaging through forms. The course emphasizes ecopackaging and the knowledge of how to create forms, packaging materials and impressions. The theoretical classes of environmental materials and techniques are combined with six workshops directed by graphic and industrial designers who monitor the projects. These workshops are also given by professional experts in different fields whose objective is to help students receive training in areas like Ecopackaging, Structural Packaging, Packaging for Jewellery, Innovation, restoration, Point of Sale, Standard Packs and Events. The context of the projects is carried out in collaboration with companies. It is important to point out that, one more year, students of the Master’s degree programme have had the opportunity of doing internships in agencies in their field, and building their packaging design portfolios at a high level.

It’s important to point out the 3D-Printing Workshop for the manufacturing of different mechanism prototypes in cooperation with the CIM foundation, the Smartmaterials Workshop using piezoelectric, thermoelectric and shape-memory materials in innovative products, and the Corian Workshop, focusing on the design of new products, in cooperation with DUPONT. During the postgraduate programme, eight internship agreements in different design and product development enterprises have been signed.

Master’s Degree in Furniture Design Postgraduate Diploma in Furniture Design for Communities, Contract and Urban Postgraduate Diploma in Furniture Design for the Habitat The Master’s Degree in Furniture Design includes the professional discipline from a specialised perspective, focusing on furniture as a social and cultural object. The main objective of this last course has been to strengthen the training of the furniture designer’s profile as a professional with an attitude and a methodology that are different with respect to other fields of design. In this edition, we have consolidated the offer of the Master’s Degree programme format with a constant interaction between the two Postgraduate Contract and Habitat programmes, which has made it possible to develop the contents in an optimal way. The students have carried out top-quality projects, showing a high degree of professionalism with some proposals that are increasingly gaining visibility and becoming viable. In the context of the programme, an ergonomics workshop has been organised with some specific exercises to visualise the key concepts to be considered in the design of seats and chairs, together with sessions dealing with the antecedents of the furniture sector by Stefano Colli, with the figure of “i maestri” as a central point to articulate the discourse and its context. The students of the programme have attended a wide range of scheduled activities, such as open lectures by architect Xavier Monteys and industrial designer Eugeni Quitllet. It’s important to point out the conferences by Nani Marquina in his shop-showroom in Barcelona and the visit and class at the Joquer S.A.Show Room and upholstery, with Miquel Àngel Carretero. It’s also important to mention the trips to the Dynamobel companies in Peralta with Master’s degree in Interior Space students, and other visits to relevant companies and institutions, such as: AIDIMA, benchmark technology centre in the furniture sector in Paterna (Valencia) and Punt Mobles, also in Paterna; Mater, FAD Centre of Materials; visit to the industry and design centre of Figueras International

Seating, in Lliçà d’Amunt and La Garriga, respectively, and the BD Barcelona Show Room, the Domestico Shop in Barcelona, and Casamitjana in Terrassa. The current edition of the programme has relied on the participation of well-known professionals such as Vicent Martínez (industrial designer and founder of Punt Mobles), Josep M. Tremolega (designer and director-editor of Mobles 114), Ignasi Bonet (architect of the Diputació de Barcelona), designers Christophe Mathieu, Alberto Lievore, Stefano Colli, Martín Ruiz de Azúa and Raimon Monsarró, Marcelo Alegre (Designer), Idoia Urdiain, Ernest Frigola (Engineer), Sergio Chismol (responsible for the development of new products in Andreu World) and Antonio Bustamante (architect, ergonomist and safety inspector).

Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Modelling The objectives of the programme consist in training specialists in the development of 3D digital modelling in real time in the sectors of product design, vehicle design and architecture, as well as having students witness reallife conditions. At the same time, the course intends to train students’ capacities which are necessary for the application of the acquired knowledge in specific real-life projects through the Thesis Projects. The main focus of training was the learning process of methodologies and strategies to define and control the form, although there was also in-depth training on digital representation: rendering, digital animation and presentation in multimedia environments. In the Postgraduate programme, there was a lot of work involving new-generation specialized tools applied to the representation of environments, surfaces and materials, like, for instance, the Autodesk Alias software, Autodesk Maya and Icemsurf. Some of the most basic computer programmes, such as Photoshop and Premiere, were also used. It’s important to point out the quality of the Thesis Projects presented, the majority of which were related to the vehicle sector. For the monitoring of the Thesis Projects and the final correction, we had some guests from the Centro de Diseño de SEAT: Manel Garcés, CAD & Visualization Manager, and Albert Ayats, in charge of CAD Disseny Exterior. Once the course was completed, projects were presented in the Showroom of the Centro de Diseño de SEAT, in front of SEAT and ELISAVA representatives. It is important to point out that the incorporation of students to the labour market has been very satisfactory.

Postgraduate Diploma in Alternative Jewellery Design The second edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Alternative Jewellery Design, directed by Ramon Oriol and Josep Puig, has included the participation of students who come from Peru, Brazil, Mexico and Spain, and a teaching team of fifteen teachers covering different subjects and fields, such as jewellery, industrial design, glass, paper, metals and finishes, packaging, retail, digital printing, branding, varnish, fashion and business management. Ramon Isern, industrial designer, gave the inaugural lecture of the course, and Emili Padrós, from the Emiliana Design studio, whose jewellery and trophy design is remarkable, also shared his experience with students. Furthermore, Eva Minguella, director of the Master’s Degree in Packaging Design, and the designer Martín Azúa carried out a packaging workshop based on designing packaging for the ceramic jewels of artist Carme Balada. In the context of this workshop, students who had taken part in the final presentation of the projects visited the artist’s studio-workshop. The varnish technique has been incorporated in this edition of the Postgraduate Diploma by the jeweller and specialist in this field Montserrat Núñez, taking advantage of the facilities and equipments of ELISAVA’s Science and Technology Laboratory. Throughout the course, there have been some guided visits to the studios of Josep Mª Menen (wood), Xavier Bonet (glass) and to the DHUB exhibitions. The second edition of the workshop about paper and origami took place during the programme in charge of artist Pedro Núñez. The final projects have been presented once again in the framework of the Esther Montoriol Contemporary Art Gallery of Barcelona. The project of student Anna Brucart has been selected for the Ei!Professional Edition awards.

area of DESIGN, STRATEGY AND MANAGEMENT

Master’s Degree in Research for Design and Innovation Postgraduate Diploma in Coolhunting. Design and Global Trends Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation and Design Thinking The 2013-2014 edition of the Master’s Degree in Research for Design and Innovation has counted with the participation of a group of 32 students of different nationalities and professional backgrounds, distributed in seven work teams, that developed some real projects for Hewlett Packard, Telefónica, Presidencia de Colombia Programa de Derechos Humanos, Adama Social Hub and

Menu&Menu, covering the three research lines of the course: innovation in large enterprises, innovation in PYMES and social innovation. During this course, and thanks to the mediation of the Innovation Direction in charge of Enric Bayó, it has started with an interesting work process with ACCIÓ, the agency for business competitiveness of the Generalitat de Catalunya, whose first collaboration has been consulting work for the Campos Estela company for its new Menu&Menu brand. In the framework of collaboration with other institutions, and thanks to the agreement signed with the Communication School of the Hogeschool of Rotterdam, Jorge Rodríguez, director of the programme, participated in the International Week, an event organized by the Dutch centre, with two workshops: The Future of Street Food and Smart Cities and Human Rights. In both workshops, students were able to apply Design Thinking techniques to develop their proposals. At the same time, during this course progress has been made in relation to the agreements with the Rotterdam Business School, a centre that has shown huge interest in the development of joint programmes, teacher and student exchange, and the projects in the framework of the Erasmus+ programme, in which it has taken part in previous years. These alliances confirm the importance of innovation both in the academic world and the business world, while they gradually consolidate the MIDI programme. The LEGO Serious Play methodology was introduced this year, working with instructors experienced in Service Design and Experience Design processes, building on gasification and user experience topics. In the Social Innovation area, together with the Programa Presidencia para los Derechos Humanos, the Agencia Nacional para la Superación de la Pobreza, the Instituto Ramon Llull and Design Thinkers Group, have published the book Human Rights Culture from a Social Innovation Standpoint, which gathers methodologies and tools to introduce the innovation in the public sector in Colombia based on the experience of one and a half years of workshops and training to Colombian public servants. This project has relied on the help and guidance of Alma Viviana Pérez, director of the Programme, and Angelino Garzón, Vice President of Colombia. Also worth pointing out are the links of new enterprises to the Iberital and Mipol programmes in the ACCIÓ PYMES sector , and of the City Hall of Barcelona in the area of Social Innovation with the VINCLES Project, networks of trust for the elderly, winner of the Bloomberg grant for social initiatives.

clients (the cover of the Timeout magazine and the cover of a book from the Blackie Books publisher) were bought by both enterprises. In the case of Blackie Books, it’s especially gratifying, given that it is a first-class publishing house that stands out for its originality and the quality of its cover illustrations. The programme opened its doors with lectures given by high-profile professionals such as those from the Brosmind creative studio and graphic comedian Darío Adanti, who went there on behalf of the satirical magazine Mongolia. Both lectures have managed to reach the Top 10 position in relation to visits to ELISAVA’s Streaming Chanel. It is important to point out the masterclass taught by Fernando Tarancón, editor of Astiberri, a multi-prize-winning editorial and a European-level reference in the publication of the graphic novel. These landmarks, with the extraordinary quality of teachers that were providing knowledge during the entire course (first-class names like Miguel Gallardo, Flavio Morais and Sergio Mora) make us confirm that the first edition of the Postgraduate Diploma in Comic and Illustration has been a complete success.

Master’s Degree in Fashion Design. Process, Innovation & Brand Postgraduate Diploma in Fashion Design: Methods, Research and Creativity Postgraduate Diploma in Branding Fashion Design: Collection and Brand The academic year 2013-2014 has witnessed the achievement of a model of fashion training which is pioneer in Spain, the result of a unifying and multidisciplinary conception around the project culture and design management, in line with the design philosophy and pedagogy of the institution that embraces it. A unique pedagogical model in the field of fashion schools, for which it represents a referent point. This experimental and innovative course has made it possible for students to develop their creations, joining technical competence and creativity. This is the only way to achieve excellence. From the very conceptual stage, they are always assisted by well-known faculty, including great designers such as Daniel Lierah and Arturo Martínez, trained in one of the best three European design schools, and the great master toiliste Rodrigo Alcazar, who has worked for Hervé Léger, Steffie Christiaens, Karl Lagerfeld, Givenchy, Nino Cerruti, among others. The Master’s Degree in Fashion Design has positioned itself with strength and singularity. Proof of this are the high-quality projects carried out. Among them, the most distinctive ones are: “Onde de choc”, by d’Eleonor Tarradas, winner of the ei! Professional Edition Awards, Opinion of the Audience category, and finalist of the Modafad award to the emergent designers together with Magdalena Fernández, with the collection “Ecuación de Felicidad”. Currently, both are working on creating their company. It is also important to point out the collections designed by Alma Palacios and the ones by Jorge Lorenzo. While Alma has achieved an internship contract at Boris Bidjan Saberi, one of the most international design studios in Barcelona, Jorge has been asked to design the wardrobe for a performance that will take place in academic year 2014-2015 at the Mercat de Les Flors. Apart from these students, all students that want to do internships have done them in the fashion industry, in entities such as the Textil Santanderina group, the same Clúster Tèxtil and Moda de Catalunya, Janina Lencería and Baño or the METAL magazine, between others. The Centre de Transferència Tecnològica AITEX participated throughout the course. This institution has taught two courses: “Textile Technology and Smart Fabric” and “Sustainability in the Textile and Fashion Field”. The programme promotes professional networking through the collaboration with different agents that are leaders in the textile and fashion sector, and also with the Clúster Tèxtil i Moda de

Catalunya, the Fashion Department of Generalitat (CCAM), the DHUB Museu Tèxtil i de la Indumentària, and enterprises such as Mango, Textil Santanderina, Janina, Teresa Helbig and others related with the services of communication specialized in fashion, such as IT FASHION or METAL. This year, the final presentation of the collections, at the FashionLab Show 2014 ELISAVA event, has welcomed the collaboration of well-known artists of the Catalan scene, such as Javier Peñafiel, Carme Torrent and Aimar Arriola, and has allowed students to enjoy an interdisciplinary experience which will open new gates of exploration and innovation.

SUMMER SCHOOL The Summer School at ELISAVA is focused on perfecting knowledge and abilities and exploring new creative sides, and on enhancing the value of students’ development. Its schedule is based on two core concepts: the courses developed with Central Saint Martins in London, the Dual City Courses, and the School’s own educational offer. The Summer School attracted 179 registered students from 28 different countries in Europe, America and Asia. Specifically, four Dual City Courses have been offered, taught in English between London and Barcelona, and 10 programmes which took place entirely at ELISAVA, in Spanish, with the exception of the Retail Design Course, which is taught in English. The teaching offer, developed during September 2013 and July 2014, has included a varied programme based on the different design areas. The list of Dual City Courses has been as follows: “Graphic Design and City Typography”, “Furniture Design. Inside and Outside Spaces”, “Visual Merchandising” and “Interior Design for Retail”. And the following courses were offered at the School: “Adobe Suite. The designer’s table”, “Basic training. Technical course. The perfect preparation for the Degree programmes at ELISAVA”, “Ephemeral Spaces. Exhibition Design”, “Visual Merchandising and Window Dressing”, “Retail Design Course”, “Resolutive Creative Thinking”, “TrendsLab: Trend and Innovation Lab”, “Lighting Design I and Lighting Design II. Light, Perception and Space” and “The Sketch and the Sketchbook as Design Tools”.

VISITING UNIVERSITy ELISAVA offers international academic centres the possibility of complementing their training with programmes aimed to cover their curricular and academic needs, the Visiting University.

During this academic year, ELISAVA has welcomed more than 50 students from Asia and America, specifically from the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong – THEI (China) and students from the Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores of Monterrey (TEC) and from the Centro de Estudios Superiores de Diseño de Monterrey (CEDIM), Mexico. The programmes carried out have been as follows: • “A Contraluz”. This workshop offered CEDIM students the opportunity of filling out their training with the development of real-life architecture and interior design projects and with interesting visits to works and architecture studios in Barcelona. The objective of the course was to define a project and specially strengthen the creative value, considering the real context and adding modern technical aspects and solutions, promoting the consistency and suggestion of innovative results. This workshop, developed between May 26th and June 20th, was directed by Lola Domènech, architect and teacher of the Master’s Degree in Interior Design at ELISAVA. • “Landscape Design Appreciation”. Addressed to students of the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong – THEI and under the direction of Martí Franch and Lucia Vecchi, this workshop was an introduction to the basic principles and the design methodologies of landscape appreciation through some debates about very famous landscape locations and projects. The course broadened students’ perspectives, providing a general image about the practice of landscape design and its social and environmental contributions. The programme, which was carried out from June 16th to July 1st, increased the students’ awareness about cultural and technological meaning beyond visual forms. • “Design with Sustainable Material”. The objective of this course was to develop the intellectual habitat of students from the THEI and their aesthetical sense through the appreciation of contemporary materials used for daily designs. Through the exposition to the innovative trends in the use of materials in the global market, students developed social awareness and appreciation for the advanced notions of sustainability from a socio-cultural standpoint. The programme, carried out from the June 16th to July 1st, was directed by Laura Clèries and Robert Thompson. • “Design for Packaging”. Students of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey carried out this programme from June 17th to July 11th, under the direction of Eva

Minguella, director of the Master’s Degree in Packaging Design at ELISAVA. The objective of the course was to train professionals to communicate, formally and graphically, the characteristics of a product and develop projects following a methodology of social and environmental responsibility. • “Retail & Brand Design”. The RetailTec programme, organised by students of the TEC of Monterey, dealt with the practice of design and ephemeral space creation strategies. The workshop methodology included a first part of retail space trend analysis, its different formats and the strategies of brands to generate clients, and a second part, based on the global creation of a brand Book, like the ones from Zara, Mango and Camper. Carmen Malvar, director of the Master’s Degree in Retail Space: Retail Design at ELISAVA, taught this course, which took place from July 2nd to July 30th.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN DESIGN General Overview The 2013-2014 school year witnessed the initial implementation of the new curriculum (LOE) that, despite all the vital changes it has implied, has taken place with total normality. Within the general objectives of the course, it is important to point out the high percentage of graduate students and the fact that, one more year the index of students that join the workforce has been above the general average of vocational training courses, even doubling the average percentage in some courses. As an innovation, it’s also important to point out that the Leonardo grants have been added this school year. These are the new Erasmus grants for Vocational Training courses that have increased the number of our international students who have benefitted from this academic aid. Activities VI week (Vocational Training in Medium and Superior Grade) The seventh Design Week has taken place from the 25th to the 28th of March of 2014, and its main theme is “Una crida a favour de la Fundació Contes pel Món“ (“A call in favour of the Contes pel Món Foundation”). The Contes pel Món Foundation was founded in 2008 with the objective to promote children’s access to the universal culture, both written and oral, preserving and getting back the knowledge of traditional cultures that exist in their popular tales: they have the capacity of transmitting values of universal peace. The Design Week makes a call in favour of that

non-profit entity, in existence for five years this year. The action suggested by the students will be developed in different squares of the Gràcia neighbourhood in Barcelona. School Project – Enterprise Among the most remarkable projects that have been carried out in this scholar year, it’s important to point out the one carried out with the JMT Ambiplan enterprise, that has convened an exclusive competition for our students from the Vocational Training in Superior Grade in Interior Design Project Management with the objective of designing a stand to present its company at the Eventoplus fair, which took place in Madrid in July of 2014. The members of the winning team travelled to Madrid invited by the company in order to validate the staging of the stand they had designed and to be present on opening day. As is the case every school year, all students that complete graduate programmes do the credit for workplace training with worldclass companies in the plastic arts and design fields, which generates a synergy between our school and the labour market that usually results in the hiring of our interns. Worth noting yet another year is the smooth functioning of the job training centres and the willingness of all companies involved to participate. The list of partner companies is as follows: 8 Disseny SCP (Maneko), Activos de Comunicación Visual S.A., Addium Comunicación S.L., Adrenalina Internet Group S.L., Alicia & Fernando S.L., Ambiplan Diseño S.L., Arboretum S.L., Calimatur S.A.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS In the 2013-2014 academic year ELISAVA continued to develop its commitment to the internationalisation and the cooperation with well-known universities with which it collaborates within the Erasmus programme and through bilateral agreements. This commitment to open to these interesting contexts for design and engineering is one or the main distinctive features of ELISAVA’s teaching project, and it consolidates the School’s aspiration in the teaching of graduate students that are able to perform in a global environment. The main character of the activity of this academic year has been the renewal of the exchange agreements of students and teachers in the framework of the new Erasmus + programme, promoted by the European Union for the 20152020 period. This fact has made it possible to assess the results achieved in the previous five years, characterised by the constant increase of agreements, and also for planning a revision of the agreements with European partners. After this process, the exchange network of the students and teaching staff of ELISAVA still relies on around 70 centres around Europe, the American continent, Asia and Australia. Within the framework of European collaboration programmes, new agreements have been signed with the Facoltà di Design e Arti de la Libera Università di Bolzano (Italy), the Escola Superior de Artes e Design-ESAD of Porto-Matoshinhos (Portugal) and the Kingston University of Kingston Upon Thames (United Kingdom). In the field of the agreements, an agreement has been defined with the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador), which reinforces the collaboration with South America. One more year, ELISAVA has been consolidated as a much-requested exchange destination by foreign students, who identify Barcelona as one of Europe’s leading cities in terms of design. The value of this flux resides in its bidirectionality, considering that, on the one hand, the diversity of profiles and perspectives of the students from other countries enriches the School and that, moreover, their presence is an incentive so that ELISAVA students consider the possibility of complementing their training with a stay abroad. Of all the internationalisation actions, it’s worth pointing out the “IP Urban Regeneration” workshop at ELISAVA, financed with funds from the Erasmus programme. It has gathered more than 70 students and teachers of Architecture, Design, Technology and Engineering from Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain, Finland, Lithuania, Czech Republic and Turkey during two weeks in March in order to work on some urban regeneration alternatives for new ways of living.

innovation, research and companies FEATURED RESEARCH PROJECTS ARÇELIK Programmes: Degree in Design and Degree in Engineering in Industrial Design. Type: Research & Innovation Lab. Research Project. Project: ARÇELIK Research and Innovation Lab”. Students: Raúl Arribas, Oriol Bertomeu, Mar Ferrer, Berta Julià and Ivan Pajares. Coordinator: Daniel Cid. Tutors: Jordi Canudas and Robert Thompson. Description: The main objective of this collaborative project was to provide innovative ideas for potential appliance products according to new scenarios prefigured by today’s society. These ideas may then be used in the company’s future design projects. Providing innovative ideas for new, smart appliances is a key area in terms of economic growth. These types of products are revolutionising the way people learn, move, entertain and interact with the artificial environment in which they live. This fact, together with the application of interactive technology, especially in the world of electrical devices, opens the door to new discovery and exploration opportunities. With all this in mind, ARÇELIK trusted ELISAVA as an external innovation centre for developing research and innovation labs as a new way of developing research applied to design.

ELBULLIFOUNDATION Type: Research & Innovation Lab. Research Project. Project: “ELISAVA elBulli Challenge” Students: Àlvar Acebrón, Teresa Baena, Amaia Bilbao, Marc Bové, Alicia Camiña, Ferran Casas, Ester Clapés, Javier del Toro, Alexandra de Requesens, Sergi Comabella, Kitiara Ferrán, Pau García, Berta Gironella, Juan Gonçalves, Berta Julià, Gastón Lisak, Dani Llugany, Mario Martínez, Paola Matzumura, Eva Molins, Laia Pascual, María Teresa Pérez, Gerard Portet, Juan Sierra, Anna Slovinsky, Andrea Soto, Nina Sundberg, Pol Trias, Juliana Trujillo and Rongxin Ye. Coordinator: Daniel Cid. Tutors: Martín Azúa, Ramon Faura, Ariel Guersenzvaig and Carmen Malvar. Description: This was a response to the challenge ELBULLIFOUNDATION presented ELISAVA for working together on the ElBulli DNA and elBulli 1846 project. The School put

the creative talent of its students to work for generating intensive and open ideas as the groundwork for future scenarios. The aim of this initiative was to stimulate enriching thought processes that would lead to new situations, avoiding premature conjectures and advancing from a situation of uncertainty through research and experimentation. It broke the typical schemes on the concept of both research areas and visitor areas, creating new experiences or other narrative possibilities of what a cultural space can be. Through collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts, multiple proposals were generated to project new possible scenarios. The new concepts have been recorded in a series of audiovisual elements: the no limit experience, seasonal museum, new entrance ticket concept, manifesto for an interior design tailored for elBulli and transformation of data generated by visitors and elBulli into interactive systems and experiences.

The academic year has also presented the possibility for a small number of students from foreign universities with which there is no bilateral agreement to come to study at ELISAVA from one to three trimesters as free movers, giving response to a demand that was disregarded. ELISAVA’s international projection is also articulated through different associations. The School is part of the Red Cumulus, which gathers more than 200 teaching institutions in the design world and is a member of the IAESTE (International Association for Exchange of Students for Technical Experience). Additionally, it collaborates with the Council on International Educational Exchange, a non-profit organisation designed by the US Department of State with the objective of managing the international programmes of exchange students. The participation in Cumulus activities has been reactivated this year, with the attendance of ELISAVA representatives in congresses in Dublin and Aveiro and the participation in the X-Files work team on international relations. The strategic activity lines still rely on the development of exchanges and the relations with leading institutions at the international level, both in the European and American context, in which ELISAVA is now present, as in others — mainly Asia and Oceania — in which can be identified interesting possibilities of collaboration. In this field, the constant revision and renovation of exchange agreements will make it possible to generate new collaboration possibilities. Apart from working actively for the development of student exchanges, ELISAVA also promotes the mobility of teaching staff and research activities, which go hand in hand with actions carried out in the last years. In this academic year, ELISAVA has welcomed teachers from the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), UAS, Seinajoki (Finland), Vilnius Gediminas TU (Lithuania), Istanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi (Turkey). Teacher from ELISAVA have participated in teaching staff mobility programmes, carrying out lessons in the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), Libera Università Bolzano (Italy), TU Delft (Netherlands) and NCAD Dublin (Ireland), consolidating a practice which would be desirable to extend further in the future.

FUNDACIÓ ARRELS Programmes: Degree in Design. Type: Research & Innovation Lab. Academic Project. Project: “Show flat”. Students: Students from the Future Habitat Module. Tutors: Francesc Pla, Iñaki Baquero, Daniel Cid and Albert Fuster. Description: FUNDACIÓ ARRELS and ELISAVA conducted an Innovation Lab which involved creating the interior space of a “Flat 0”, an experimental project to temporarily house homeless people, accompanied by Arrels volunteers. The proposal was made in order to provide real input to the project which Arrels wants to carry out in the flat provided by the City Council for such uses in Carrer del Carme 84, first floor, 2nd door. The idea is to meet the needs of users not only from a care and legal perspective, but also understanding the values and expectations of the accommodation, as well as its associated functions, symbols and experiences. To carry out this project, students and teachers contacted Arrels coordinators and pilot flat users. They also visited current flats for the homeless, the Arrels headquarters and other related facilities.

Programmes: Degree in Engineering in Industrial Design Type: Academic Project. Project: “Càlid” [“Warm”] Student: Nicole Vindel. Tutor: Jèssica Fernández. Description: Advanced Nanotechnologies, a company with proprietary nano-coating and nano-particle technology, developed, together with ELISAVA, a project to design a nanotechnology-based object to boost, improve or propose a better quality of life within areas with different possible futures in the urban landscape, taking into account the proper relationship between society, technology, people and their needs. An example of the results can be found in “Càlid”, which offers alternative food items that enhance the diner’s experience and interaction through advanced materials in creative gastronomy, such as a thermo-sensitive bowl that opens upon receiving heat stimulus from broth or sauce, or containers that enhance contrasting temperatures like serving hot contents inside a frozen dish.

BARCELONA CITY COUNCIL Programmes: Degrees and Master’s Degrees. Type: Innovation Lab. Workshop. Project: “BCN RE.SET” Students: Anna Benet Prat, Marc Cervelló Griso, Gemma Sastrada Mestre, Mayte Perez Moreno, Agustina Garrigou, María Palacio, Marc Buchaca Balast, Angela Toledano Hervás, Cristina Vall-Llosera Nonell, Iraia Veiga Camacho, Paula Camarasa Sicila, Berta Canet Marsal, Mónica Caño Lloret, Javier Capdevila Gómez, Andrée-Ann Daniels, Nadja Verena Doerfel, Michelle Girardi Pino, Claudia Casellas Villa, Sara Lastra Boniquet, María Martínez Rodríguez, Clara Masso Minguella, Cristina Miquel Vidal, Nerea Porta Lupión, Judit Riba Mauri, Pablo Roche Pino, Rebeca Sanchez Caro, Astrid Steegmans Guerrero and Estelle Thébault. Tutors: Ricardo Guasch, Albert Fuster,Toño Foraster, Victoria Garriga, Joaquim Matutano, María Güell, Carlota Gomez, Sylvia Felipe and Rosario Hernández. Description: ELISAVA worked in co-operation with the renowned architectural firm Grafton Architects on the project “Memory Box/House of Memory”, an installation set up at Barcelona’s Arc de Triomf as part of the BCN RE.SET ephemeral street architecture circuit. A multidisciplinary team of over 30 students and 7 teachers from different nationalities involved in ELISAVA’s Degree in Design and Master’s Degrees spent more than 500 hours developing a set-up based on the concept of “memory”, to be applied to the areas of space, graphic design, product design, lighting and communication. The project was carried out in the framework of BCN RE.SET project, an ephemeral architecture street circuit that was developed between June and September 2014 at six sites in the city centre, curated by architect Benedetta Tagliabue (Enric Miralles Foundation) and stage director Alex Ollé (La Fura dels Baus), as part of Catalonia’s tercentenary commemorations.

CITY COUNCIL OF LLAGOSTERA Programmes: Degree in Design. Type: Innovation Lab. Workshop. Project: “Espai Jove” [“Youth Space”]. Students: Banui Barragán, Mar Ferrer, Laia Fusté, Maria Massó, Christopher Montserrat, Laura Oliver, Laia Pascual, Albert Puig, Jordi Ros, Berta Sagristà and Ariadna Veas. Tutors: Núria Coll, Stefano Colli and Ariel Guersenzvaig. Description: The Department of Culture and Youth of the City Council of Llagostera commissioned ELISAVA with a project to design the new Youth Centre in the municipality, with support from the Government of Catalonia’s Directorate General of Youth. New techniques for determining users’ real needs were used, involving the users themselves as well as social science experts. This is a new vision that involves a significant change in the way we plan and therefore a change in the skills of the designer and the challenges which users are faced with when it comes to exploring and exploiting the

results of their concerns. This was the strategy adopted for the development of a new Youth Centre for Llagostera, considered from the beginning as a service design project. This type of design aims to provide holistic services and experiences where people are no longer seen merely as passive clients or citizens, but where all their dimensions are taken into account.

ALPINA (ESPORTIVA AKSA) Programmes: Postgraduate Diploma in Product Concept. Type: Innovation Lab. Academic Project. Project: “Nimble”. Students: Eduard Carulla Terricabras, Joan Niubó Moncasí, Fernando Montero Barro and Alan Steinberg Niski. Tutors: Josep Puig and Núria Coll. Description: “Nimble” is a project created to explore new opportunities for Alpine, the mountaineering backpack brand (Barcelona), through the identification and subsequent resolution of unidentified needs in the sector. During the research carried out, one of the problems discovered was the ineffectiveness of traditional backpacks for transporting large objects, both in the growing field of mountain sports and for the various professional sectors (rescuers and/or fire-fighters). The “Nimble” concept revolves around a rigid front panel that incorporates a modular mounting system that eliminates the physical limits imposed by backpack, thus making it possible to transport items such as skis or snowboards, while ensuring easy access. The fastening system comprises a series of modules introduced into the various spaces of the backpack, secured simply by turning the clamps 90º. Straps are then attached to these fixtures, and thanks to the fact that they can be rotated independently, they can be combined with other elements normally used in mountaineering for transporting equipment — such as quickdraw rope — thus facilitating load distribution and helping optimise space and improve accessibility.

analysis with the aim of redefining the furniture, interior and exterior of train cars and their environment. The ethnographic visits carried out as part of this study helped students determine people’s needs and motivations from a qualitative point of view, and identify commonalities in their experience to develop an improvement action plan. In order to understand the user’s vision (defining types, habits, mobility, etc.), students travelled extensively around the Barcelona commuter network. They detected unmet needs which users pointed out in numerous interviews and co-creation projects designed to unveil the opinions, wishes and demands of all stakeholders. The applied methodology allowed for the reconfiguration of trains based on three priorities: high occupancy, productivity and lounge. The projects presented are committed to dynamic spaces that combine areas where passengers sit comfortably and enjoy entertainment with work areas that stress user privacy while on the train. The seats, handle bars and storage spaces take on a performative aesthetic that manages overbooking and ensures greater comfort during the travel experience, featuring self-cleaning surfaces and spaces designed for all types of luggage.

“ELISAVA. Since 1961” is an historical account about the long existence of the School through the live memory of all the ones who have been part and are still part of it. The book, with a text by Josep Maria Pinto and a design by Spread, contains 320 pages and it is profusely illustrated, including a visual written chronicle of ELISAVA which documents an essential chapter of the history and the culture of design in our country. Events, anecdotes, projects... that bring us closer to the experience of ELISAVA, intrinsically linked to the history of design. ELISAVA was founded in 1961 in the historical context of the Franco dictatorship, and it is the result of the effort and the determination of a group of intellectuals who wanted to build a more fair and open society. This group of professionals, theorists, architects and designers committed themselves to the social and cultural modernization defined the methodology based on rigour and excellence that characterises the School. Its innovative and creative view and its entrepreneur spirit have always been present in ELISAVA’s philosophy. Students, teachers and former students have contributed to make from ELISAVA one knowledge, experience, debate and networking exchange platform in the professional field.

29TH ISSUE OF ELISAVA TEMES DE DISSENY Issue number 29 of ELISAVA Temes de Disseny “Visual Communication. The perception of the invisible” was presented January 15 2013 with the participation of Raffaella Perrone, Albert Fuster, Andreu Balius, Ferran Adell, Pau Garcia and Albert Ibanyez. The last issue of the university’s scientific dissemination publication edited by ELISAVA reflects on how new languages have emerged with the emergence of information and communication technologies (interface design, data visualisation, augmented reality, mapping or motion graphic). It also urges readers to explore the extent to which modern media is exerting an influence on the various different graphic design fields. On this occasion, the editors have wanted to dedicate special attention to the graphic design of the cover so it would suggest, at first glance, the topic covered inside. The background image is from the “Milano Shape” project, an installation by Pau Garcia and Klaus Fruchtnis that allows the observer to perceive the visual identity of the city of Milan in an interactive way. The key words of the articles, which usually appear on the cover as a table of contents, in this case are superimposed over the image. These tags have been graphically treated with semitransparent printing, so that

readers can only read it when holding the magazine, thanks to the texture contrast.

ENRIC BRICALL LIBRARY

148

This year the Enric Bricall Library has added 329 new books to its collection and five new magazine subscriptions. The centre has offered a total of 8,024 loans throughout the academic year. In relation to the promotion of activities, the Library has carried out actions in different fields, such as collaborating with the review of bibliography of issue 29 of the ELISAVA TdD magazine. During January 2014, coinciding with the Jesús Morentin exhibition, in homage to typographer Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman, the Library presented a selection of documents from the Enric Bricall Reserve Collection related with the European graphic avant-garde from the early 20th century. Furthermore, in May 2014 a training session about information resources addressed to teachers of graduate and Master’s Degree programmes took place. Within the framework of activities promoted by the Library, the most remarkable ones are the following exhibitions organised and carried out in its facilities: • Work of Charles and Ray Eames, an exhibition of books, card games and a mock-up of the house of these designers accompanied by the film on their work, and also images of the furniture that they designed throughout their careers (October 2013). • Exhibition dedicated to the universe of children (December 2013). • Coinciding with the exhibition “Le Corbusier: un atles de paisatges moderns” (Le Corbusier: an atlas of modern landscapes), which took place in the CaixaFòrum in Barcelona, the Library organised an exhibition of books by the architect (March 2014). • Exhibition of the mock-ups of furniture designed by Grup Transatlàntic (19841989) comprising Ramon Benedito, Lluís Morillas and Josep Puig (June 2014).

Science and Technology Laboratory The 2013-2014 academic year has witnessed the consolidation of the laboratory as a reference space for experimentation in ELISAVA. This academic year has been extended with the open classroom schedule, which means that a total of 926 students have used these facilities. The group of students has been looked after by the team of interns who advise students in the creation of their projects and help with teaching. Year after year, there are more subjects of studies

that include the use of the Laboratory in their methodology. Along these lines, it is important to underscore the incorporation of different Master’s Degree and Postgraduate programmes like the ones in Digital Architecture, Public Space and Jewellery, which are added to the pioneer programmes and consolidated in the use of this service, like the Product Development one. The philosophy followed by the Laboratory consists of promoting the experimentation in the end of degree projects. In this sense, an overall of six dissertations have used the universal testing machine and the set of instruments to validate projects done during this academic year. In order to implement improvements in the use of this service, all material and equipment collected in the free online program www. quartzy.com has been documented and inventoried. This way, all information is accessible via web for all lab-related staff. With the desire of seeing continued growth, this academic year the Laboratory has achieved watertightness equipment, a Shore durometer and metrology tools. Furthermore, there is a bet on the future related to the growth of the electronic field that involves the incorporation of Arduinos and plans to purchase a 3D scanner.

Graphic Workshop ELISAVA’s Graphic Workshop is a new infrastructure introduced in the 2013-2014 academic year. This new educational resource emerged in response to the need of having an experimentation space for the different handling or printing techniques (either handcrafted, mechanical or digital) that take part in the creation of prototypes or graphic object miniatures. The equipment, with the capacity for 25 people and available to all the School’s academic community, offers the necessary tools and machines to undertake manual printing and bookbinding projects, and digital printing and cut-off of originals vectorised with vinyl. A total of 993 students, helped by the team of interns, have used these facilities during the academic year as an open classroom. It is also important to point out that the venue is used for teaching, for lessons on the different subjects related to any of the technical activities which the lab is equipped for. The Graphic Workshop provides students with the possibility of checking the quality of their projects and digital originals by professionally creating printed proofs. Furthermore, the use of this equipment to teach classes makes it possible to improve the quality of theoretical and practical explanations on technical subjects and projects, especially the ones from the graphic design field. It also enhances the quality of workshops and the Master’s Degree and Postgraduate programmes taught at ELISAVA.

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION The Marketing and Communication Department has based its action parameters on three main objectives: the international promotion of the ELISAVA brand, the monitoring of a customized line of assistance for all the students and prospective students of the School and the support at all levels of more than 100 activities carried out by the Institution. This working methodology can be translated into an increase of the presence of national and international fairs in order to disseminate the teaching offer, the intensification of the links with teaching centres from all Spain and the significant increase in the visits of institutions and prospective students, what results in the attention to thousands of people from all around the world. In the training aspect and following the work line carried out during the last three years to promote the rigour and the effort of the students, it’s worth pointing out that during this course, the Marketing and Communication Department has implemented the excellence grants, addressed to new students of the Official Degrees, which has been very well received by all the participants and all the postsecondary centres. The department has extended the celebration of the ei! Awards to the students of Master’s Degree and Postgraduate programmes, with a new version called Professional Edition. The award ceremony took place in July. Additionally, it’s worth pointing out the implementation of a new Graduation Ceremony in February for all the students of the Master’s Degree and the Postgraduate programmes which concluded their studies in this period, being a total of three events of this kind carried out throughout the academic year. In order to offer a better service in the internal and external communication of the School, it’s worth mentioning, amongst other initiatives, the launch of a new Newsletter with an agile design and divided up according to the language priorities of the public. Finally, and with the objective of strengthening and reinforcing the ELISAVA community, the department carried out, for the first time, a celebration to conclude the academic year, to which all the people linked to the School were invited: teachers, administration and services staff, the direction team, students and members of the association of former students. This encounter, which was another communication success, was very well received by all the participants.

ACADEMIC ORGANISATION, ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT AND POSTGRADUATE MANAGEMENT Among the most significant actions carried out during this academic year it is important to point out, firstly, the beginning of the process of accreditation of the qualifications of Degree programmes, an assessment of the achievement of competencies and knowledge by students, as specified in the Framework for Verification, Assessment, Modification and Accreditation of recognised titles of Degree and Master’s Degree programmes (VSMA framework) from the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU). Likewise, the modification of the name of Degree in Building Engineering has become official and now it is called Degree in Science and Technology Building, a change which applies to all universities offering this degree. At the same time, the reverification process of the Master’s degree offered by ELISAVA has concluded positively. Finally, in this same VSMA framework, the AQU approved the new programme of optional subjects for the Degree in Design (GDIS) and the Degree in Engineering in Industrial Design (GEDI), which will enter into force after the 2015-2016 academic year. It makes it possible to gather these subjects in different specialities so that the student, studying a minimum of 36 credits and a maximum of 60 of one speciality, can obtain the corresponding mention that accompanies his degree. It is important to point out the first edition of the Simultaneous Study Plan between the Degrees in Design and in Industrial Design Engineering, with a total of 21 students registered. On the other hand, the third edition of the Course in Degree in Design Adaptation has taken place. As regards the Academic Unit Section, during the 2013-2014 academic year, some tasks related to the implementation of the SIGMA management programme have taken place, which implement computer solutions in order to modernise the academic management of higher education centres and adjust it to the requirements of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), making it possible to adapt and improve the internal academic processes. This programme will permit a total integration with the new MOODLE-based virtual campus. Throughout the academic year, from the Postgraduate Unit Section a total of 18 Master’s Degree programmes and 41 Postgraduate programmes have been arranged. Among these programmes, the first edition entirely in English of two Master’s Degrees and four Postgraduate programmes stand out.

Information Systems (SSI) The Information Systems (SSI) department has carried out some improvements in the fields of systems and applications. In relation to the system area, different hi-tech equipments have been added, both in the iMACS depot, completing in this way the renovation that started the last academic year, and in the servers, with the acquisition of a Hitachi hard drive system. If the case of applications, it is worth pointing out the fact that the SSI department has managed and directed the project of establishment of the SIGMA ERP application. This project enables the integration of the different management applications of the Centre, adapting all the academic management processes in the application. In order to cover all the services offered by ELISAVA, the SSI department has carried out the following modules: realization of pictures via website to assist the registration process of the new students, the integration in the management system of ELISAVA users, check the available places for the registration, consult of the schedules of the teachers, the registration of users, password recovery by SMS or the “cloud” module, which consists of personal folders for internal use. Apart from all these improvements, the SSI department has also carried out a survey module for the Enric Bricall Library. In the 2013-2014 academic year, the SSI department has managed and directed the establishment project of the new virtual campus, integrated with the SIGMA ERP of management. This new environment has enriched the tasks developed by the teaching staff and has added a great value to students.

MODELS AND PROTOTYPES WORKSHOP During this 2013-2014 academic year, the Models and Prototype Workshop has moved from the Passeig Colom facilities to the School’s headquarters. This change of location has allowed the modification of its structure in order to transform it into a Digital Fabrication Laboratory. In addition to maintaining the most traditional workshop space, it has also meant the extension of the 3D printing services, with two UP Plus printers, and the enlargement of the CNC with the incorporation of one Roland MDX-450 milling machine. The new location has been positive because it has improved the proximity and the use of facilities by students, main users of this service. Throughout the year, around 600 3D projects have been printed in the Workshop. Furthermore, the laser service has clocked about 900 hours, whereas in the CNC milling service has recorded around 525 hours. The integration of the workshop in the School has been translated into an increase of the services by almost 100% with respect to the previous year.

As in other years, the Models and Prototype Workshop has been the work centre of around twenty subjects taught in the set of studies (Degree programmes, Master’s Degree programmes and Postgraduate programmes) that are carried out at ELISAVA, and the exchange programmes with other universities have also taken advantage of its services.

ELISAVA ALUMNI Elisava Alumni, the Association of ELISAVA Former Students, is committed to a constant dialogue with all the ELISAVA community. The Association is the ideal space to socialise and interact with professionals and companies of the sector in which innovation, networking, collaborations and entrepreneurship are essential points when it comes to facing the new challenges of today’s society. Annually, Elisava Alumni watches over the professional development of its members with actions such as the promotion of successes obtained by former students, the dissemination of the awards that they have won, or other actions aimed at the growth of the number of existent offers in the Career Service. In this sense, during the 2013-2014 academic year, the improvement project for the Career Service started, with a priority economic and resources investment for the construction of a platform that will strengthen the value of our professionals and will offer them a practical and attractive space where they can be visible to industry companies. The new Career Service is expected to be up and running by the end of 2014. Another milestone this academic year has been the launch of a new Newsletter, which makes it possible to improve the communication of all activities of the school and its partners. In the context of organised events, Elisava Alumni has continued along the right line this academic year by celebrating different Professional Days. These lectures, given by remarkable guests of the Design and Engineering field, have become an essential tool for all professionals, given that they make it possible to exhibit last-minute topics and let the public see the reality in the various sectors in a pleasant and informal environment.

TEAM MANAGEMENT TEAM

Despite the current overall economic climate, during the 2013-2014 academic year we have successfully achieved our target operating results, above and beyond budget provisions approved by the Board in July 2013. This outcome is the result of efforts made by the entire organisation in managing costs and continuous improvement of all processes to ensure optimal efficiency. This fact has led to increased profitability while maintaining our business revenues. It is worth noting that the Board of Trustees approved extraordinary expenses this year, allocated for the Strategic Development Plan, which affect the year’s results. It should be noted, however, that we have carried out all planned invest-

ments, as is customary, in order to maintain the level of excellence which distinguishes our School. With regard to the 2014-2015 academic year, the Board of Trustees has approved a budget following the basic guidelines of the Strategic Plan based on the innovation of education offered, the recruitment of international students, joint programmes with other leading international schools and promoting greater collaboration with companies. Below is the evolution in the financial staments of the Private Foundation ELISAVA University School1 over the last three academic years, as stated in the Profit and Loss Statements and Balance Sheets.
