The International Design Seminar (INDESEM) has a long and fascinating history. Since the first edition in 1964, each INDESEM has brought students and professionals from all over the world together to explore relevant architectural issues of their time – in the form of excursions, competitions, and lectures. While INDESEM evolves and changes, depending on the people involved in its organization, each edition exposes current ideas and needs of the students: their views on architecture education, what they deem most relevant, and which designers inspire them. In return, INDESEM inspires educators and helps establish new ways of teaching in architecture.
INDESEM has been around for many years, with each year another contemporary subject. For each edition, selected information is shown: title, keywords, location of the seminar, site of the design competition, design topic, board members, speakers, tutors, mentors and interesting facts.
