Conference | Trans-Scalar by Mariona Benedito
Within the cultural programming of the Tarragona Demarcation of the College of Architects of Catalonia (COAC) we have the opportunity to listen to the conference TRANS-SCALE, by Mariona Benedito, where the architect talks to us about her most relevant projects.
Architecture unfolds across scales, times and contexts. From ephemeral projects to complex and permanent urban interventions, it is proposed to understand architectural practice as a continuous field where experimentation and responsibility, flexibility and permanence, meet and dialogue. Based on examples of professional practice, research and teaching, the session invites reflection on a trans-scalar attitude that assumes complexity as a design driver.
Mariona Benedito practices architecture in a TRANS-SCALE way, approaching everything from ephemeral or small-scale projects to strategic urban-scale studies, connecting theoretical and research frameworks, professional practice and teaching methodologies.
She is currently co-curator of the next edition of the UIA World Congress to be held in Barcelona in 2026. An architect who graduated from ETSAB-UPC in 2000, with a Diploma in Advanced Studies in Housing from the 40s-60s in Barcelona. Co-founder of the MIM-A architecture studio in 2007, she has been working in her individual practice since 2020. Her work has been awarded with relevant prizes such as the FAD Architecture Prize 2020, the Menció Nova Bauhaus Europea Prize, the Catalunya Construcció Prize, the 4th edition of the Barcelona Architecture Exhibition, the FAD Efímers Prize 2015, she has been a finalist in the XV BEAU and the EU Mies van der Rohe Prize, and selected for the 7th European Landscape Biennial. Mariona Benedito has curated and designed exhibitions such as Architecture, University and Territory or Emergencies at the COAC, Climate Machine at the Ciutadella greenhouse and the EPISODE (2020-2024) conference series at the ETSAV-UPC.
She has been an associate professor of Architectural Projects at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia since 2003, and her Research Workshop has been recognized as a finalist among the best pedagogical initiatives of the XIII BIAU. She is an associate professor and coordinator at the IE School of Architecture and Design in Madrid. She has taught classes and led workshops at various institutions such as ETSALS URL, ETH-Zurich, Fundació UPC, BAU School of Design, Sam Fox School of Design at Washington University in Saint Louis, ESARQ-UIC and ETSAB-UPC.
