Campus BAU
BAU has three buildings (Pujades, Lllacuna and Granada) with more than 10,000 m² of equipment for training in design and fine arts, which are constantly being improved and adapted.
The campus
The BAU campus consists of three buildings in the Poblenou district of Barcelona. With over 10,000 m2 of facilities for training in design and fine arts, it is in a constant state of improvement and adaptation. A modern and functional environment entirely adapted for people with reduced mobility.
The commitment to the environment and sustainability is strengthened by a heating system connected to the urban network that utilizes residual energy sources. In addition, the new buildings have been rehabilitated using natural and local materials and under energy efficiency criteria. To contribute to selective waste collection, BAU has a recycling system.
Workshops
Workshops are at the centre of learning at BAU. Teaching in design and arts is based on active methodologies through practice and experimentation with materials, techniques, and technologies. Workshops are places for the precipitation of contextual knowledge, languages, and methods that are always associated with professional practices and research. Workshops are infrastructure where ideas and projects are deployed and where students, teachers, and specialists come together to create a learning community. These spaces encompass great knowledge related to the image, volume, and body, including graphic production, screen printing, drawing, painting, photography, video, animation, interactive technologies, artificial intelligence, performance, digital manufacturing, experimentation with materials, recycling, clothing, pattern making, experimentation with textiles, ceramics, and sculpture.
