As is tradition, the IDOM Choir has prepared a Christmas greeting in the best way they know how: by singing a song.   This year we have done several projects in Tanzania, and so we have some special guests: the children of Saint Monica's School in Zanzibar, who have contributed their joy and voices in the video.  This year’s song is “Baba Yetu,” and the fact that it is in Swahili has not deterred the Choir…    A total of 81 people from IDOM around the world, including former IDOM colleagues and family, participated in the preparation of the video, along with 25 children from Saint Monica School in Zanzibar.   Contributions came from almost all areas of IDOM: Architecture and Building, Corporate, Energy, Environment, Geographic Areas, IE Pool, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Territory and City – Consulting and Systems, and Transversal Infra.   The number of cities from which the video was recorded reflects IDOM’s global presence: Alkmaar, Bilbao, Bogotá, Cartagena, Mexico City, Addis Ababa, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Santiago de Chile, Seville, Vandellós, Zaragoza, Zanzibar… The Choir wishes you Merry Christmas! #Christmascarol #MerryChristmas #Zanzibar #Tanzania #IDOMChoir ------------------------- Como viene siendo tradición, el Coro de IDOM ha preparado una felicitación navideña con lo que mejor saben hacer: cantando una canción.

La canción de este año es “Baba Yetu”, y el hecho de que sea en Swahili no ha amedrentado al Coro… ¡Esperamos que os guste!   Entre cantantes, instrumentistas y entusiastas, en la preparación del vídeo han participado 81 personas de IDOM por todo el mundo, junto con exIdoms y familia, a los que hay que sumar los 25 niños del Saint Monica School de Zanzibar.   Hay aportes de casi todas las áreas de IDOM: Architecture and Building, Corporate, Energy, Environment, Geographic Areas, IE Pool, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Territory and City – Consulting and systems y Transversal Infra.   El número de ciudades desde las que se ha grabado el vídeo refleja la extensión de IDOM por el mundo: Alkmaar, Bilbao, Bogotá, Cartagena, Ciudad de México, Addis Ababa, Londres, Luxemburgo, Madrid, Santiago de Chile, Sevilla, Vandellós, Zaragoza, Zanzibar… ¡Feliz Navidad de parte del Coro!   #Navidad #Villancico #CoroIDOM #FelizNavidad

Together with the Aga Khan Foundation, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of our award in Senegal   The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) is a non-profit organization established in 1967 by His Highness the Aga Khan IV. Its mission is to alleviate poverty and improve the quality of life in disadvantaged communities, primarily in Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East.   In 1977, he established the Aga Khan Prize, a triennial award that recognizes architectural projects that improve the quality of life in Muslim communities, emphasizing innovation, sustainability and cultural sensitivity.   On October 24 and 25, the Foundation organized a conference in Senegal, a country that has a historical relationship with the Awards, as it is home to four projects that have received the Award: the Nianing Agricultural Center (1980), the Franco-Senegalese Alliance in Kaolack (1995), the Teaching and Research Unit of Alioune Diop University in Bambey (2019), and the Kamanar Secondary School in Thionck Essyl (2022). Our colleague Federico Pardos, coauthor with Javier Perez on the Bambey University project, participated in the conference, held at the university itself and at the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar, which included a seminar on the role of architecture in Africa and an official ceremony to celebrate the Senegalese winners for 2019 and 2022. In addition, Farrokh Derakhshani, director of AKAA, presented IDOM with an award for its Alioune Diop University project. The program also included visits and celebrations in the company of AKAA jury members Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Lesley Lokko.   Souleymane Bachir Diagne is a Senegalese philosopher and university professor. His work focuses on the history of logic and mathematics, epistemology, the tradition of philosophy in the Islamic world, identity formation, and African literatures and philosophies.  Lesley Naa Norle Lokko is a Ghanaian-Scottish architect, academic and writer. In 2022, she was appointed curator of the XVIII International Architecture Exhibition, Venice Biennale. In 2024, she became the first African woman to win the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture.

Designing four of the official 2030 World Cup venues   It's official, FIFA has just announced the official host cities for the 2030 World Cup: Morocco, Spain and Portugal, and that the three opening matches will be played in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.   We are honored to be behind the project for four of them: The San Mamés stadium, which has been in use for ten years and did not need to be adapted to host the World Cup; the Spotify Camp Nou, which has undergone a major transformation to accommodate 104,000 spectators and is a candidate to host the final; the Más Monumental stadium of the River Plate Athletic Club (Argentina), where we have removed the athletics track to convert it into a soccer-specific stadium, with continuous stands and new seating for 84,500 spectators; and the New Romareda, the only new stadium in Spain for the 2030 World Cup, with 42,500 seats.   In recent weeks, we have presented our work on these stadiums at three different forums: the Coliseum Summit LATAM 2024 in Monterrey, the TheStadiumBusiness Design & Development Summit 2024 in Manchester and the GoLatam Summit 2024 in Santiago de Chile.

Our work to achieve the SDGs recognized by the UN   The UIA Commission on Sustainable Development (UN 17 SDGs Working Group) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, convened the 2023 edition of the UIA 2030 Award earlier this year. Launched in 2021 as a biennial program, the award was created to foster engagement and to recognize and promote the work of architects that contributes to the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in line with the New Urban Agenda.   Just a few weeks ago, in November, the organization unveiled the finalist projects, which were recognized for "the quality of their design and for making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable."   The bus station in Santiago de Compostela and the parking and intermodal station in Nantes were highlighted as finalists in this category: Public Transportation.   The jury noted that its selection recognized: "Projects that, by virtue of their location, design, density, etc., contribute significantly to the provision of safe, accessible and sustainable public transport, in line with the principles underlying SDG 11 target 11.2.1." ---------------- La ONU reconoce nuestra labor para la consecución de los ODS La Comisión de Desarrollo Sostenible de la UIA (Grupo de Trabajo de los 17 ODS de la ONU) y el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para los Asentamientos Humanos, UN-Habitat, convocaron a comienzos de año la edición 2023 del Premio UIA 2030. Creado en 2021 como un programa bienal, el premio nació para fomentar el compromiso y reconocer y promover el trabajo de los arquitectos que contribuye a la consecución de la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo Sostenible junto con la Nueva Agenda Urbana. Hace solo unas semanas, en el mes de noviembre, la organización dio a conocer los proyectos finalistas y premiados por «la calidad de su diseño y por lograr que las ciudades y los asentamientos humanos sean inclusivos, seguros, resilientes y sostenibles». La estación de autobuses de Santiago de Compostela y el parking y estación intermodal en Nantes fueron destacados como finalistas en la categoría: Transporte público. El jurado señaló que con su selección reconocía: “proyectos que, en virtud de su ubicación, diseño, densidad, etc., contribuyen significativamente a la provisión de un transporte público seguro, accesible y sostenible en consonancia con los que sustentan la meta 11.2.1 del ODS 11”.   UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) UIA - International Union of Architects
