White Cathedra: advancing architectural education

Cátedra Blanca or White Cathedra is an ongoing initiative coordinated by CEMEX in Spain in partnership with several Architecture Schools in Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, and most recently, in Seville. Its intention is to disseminate knowledge about the characteristics of white cement among last-year students, as well as in relation to applied end-of-course projects. Among its participants is an interdisciplinary team integrated by professors, nationally and internationally recognized specialists, and technical experts from CEMEX. The study plan is complemented by conferences, visits to the most advanced facilities, as well as day trips to the most symbolic white architecture buildings in Spain.
