The Temple of Jeronimos Monastery this afternoon hosted the closing ceremony of the First International Congress of Art, Architecture and Heritage
Today was the turn of architecture at the First International Congress held by the Department of Arts FCG, and which has joined in an event, along with the discipline, art and heritage.

Meanwhile, the head of the Department of Architectural Design at the School of Architecture of Madrid, Emilio Álvarez Tuñón has used in his speech, 'Mansilla + Tuñón Memory Architecture' seven projects on interventions on architectural heritage and helmet history, which includes the work done in this area by the firm Mansilla + Tuñón.
The architect has reminded his fellow Mansilla who died a couple of years ago and has been designated as line of work of both the coexistence of contemporary architecture with traditional or historical.
Furthermore, on the current situation of Emilio Tuñón architecture has ensured that this is beginning to rebound, but added that "we will not build big buildings or big resorts, many of them abandoned here in Murcia, perhaps architecture is made more balanced, tailored to the needs of people, and our economic situation.
