An Open Class is to be held at 03:00 PM on monday 04-05-2026 in the Coboi Lab (Ctra. de la Santa Creu de Calafell 33, Sant Boi de Llobregat) of the Postgraduate Bioclimatic and Regenerative Architecture (Live Online).
This event is designed in a format different from the usual: it is not a one-way talk, but a dynamic, direct and participatory space where you will be able to learn first-hand what is really happening in the building sector, which professional profiles are currently in demand, which skills make the difference today, and how the job market is evolving in architecture studios, developers, construction companies and consultancies.
It is a space created to make your voice heard: ask questions, build connections and position yourself professionally. You will be able to share what you are looking for in an organization, what type of work culture you value, which challenges interest you and which conditions influence your professional decisions. It is a particularly valuable opportunity if you are looking for internships or your first job, if you are rethinking your career path, or simply if you want to better understand how to access the sector with stronger criteria.
