International Program
PEI, The International Program from the Architecture and Design Faculty from the Pontifical Xaverian University Bogotá is a program of comprehensive education which born as an initiative to connect interdisciplinary and international efforts to promote knowledge with different communities where investigation and social innovation become one to propose possible solutions from the architecture and design perspective to the problems of each place.
ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCES IN MADRID
In Madrid we had the opportunity to have different conferences and visits with outstanding architects, such as the bicycle tour of the iconic project of "Madrid Río" by the architect Fernando Porras. In the same way the main architectural landmarks of the city were visited, highlighting the different elements that throughout history have had a high impact on the community serving as references for current architectural practices.

ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCES IN BARCELONA
In Barcelona, different visits to iconic places in architecture were developed where their characteristics were analyzed while the tours were made and the exemplary urbanism of the city was studied (even the pavement). For example, among the most outstanding are the work of Gaudí, the Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion and some important museums. Likewise, there was the opportunity to attend conferences with influential architecture or design firms in Barcelona such as Escoffet and SMIA, which was quite enriching in the learning process.
