Barcelona

In 2002, IED opened its Barcelona centre in Gràcia, one of the most authentic and charismatic neighbourhoods in the city. Over this nearly 10 years, the school has become a benchmark in teaching design, both nationally and internationally. A leading observatory of trends and research, with a project culture at its heart, that offers students the chance to carry our innumerable projects with companies. Faithful to its tradition of continuous innovation and impatience for change, IED Barcelona has decided to initiate new projects for a thorough reform of all the elements that constitute the complex process of a design education.

2012 is a key year for IED Barcelona, since it marks three major events: From one side, it’s conversion to a Higher Level Design School, with the official approval of all its courses, adding a fourth year to the formative programs. From another side, the inauguration of a new seat, of more then 5.000m2, with fashion, interior, product, communication and video labs, as well as classrooms and facilities for conferences that will allow the development of lab and investigation activities, transforming IED in a creative space, unique and pioneer in the city of Barcelona; and finally, for the celebration of its tenth anniversary.

IED Barcelona will be a spread centre over 2012 of international design, with a program of conferences, round tables, exhibitions and other activities related to the design culture, fashion, visual communication and management. Our goal has always been that, at the end of their educational process, all of our students have a fundamental culture of the Project printed on their personal DNA. That is to say, that they understand the design culture not only as an applicable methodology, but also as a forma mentis, a philosophy, ethos and responsibility that permits them to undertake their own life project, stimulating their creative potential and allowing them to take decisions that lead to a truly fulfilling life. This is our community desire, our teachers and professional’s objective. For IED Barcelona, that has always been our compromise.
