  • Presentación Metro Bilbao
    Impacto Económico, Social y Medioambiental de la Construcción y Explotación Metro Bilbao. 1987 - 2013 Antecedentes y Objetivos Han transcurrido ya 25 años desde el comienzo de las obras y 18 desde que Metro Bilbao inició su andadura y es evidente que el Metro ha supuesto un impacto individual y colectivo en el Área Metropolitana por razones muy diversas. De hecho, hoy es imposible concebirla sin Metro. Desde esta visión, Metro Bilbao desarrolló en el año 2003 su primer estudio de Impacto Económico, Social y Medioambiental con el objeto de conocer y cuantificar lo que había supuesto para Bizkaia y para la Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi (CAE) en términos de generación de riqueza, empleo y desarrollo social desde el momento inicial de concepción del proyecto, hasta el ámbito de explotación y construcción en el que se encontraba en dicho momento. En los años 2004 y 2006, se realizaron sucesivas actualizaciones de dicha medición. En 2013 se ha realizado la última actualización, aprovechando la mayoría de edad del suburbano y los 25 años del inicio de las obras, así como el avanzado estado de la construcción de la estación de Kabiezes, en Santurtzi, que inaugurándose en 2014, permitirá dar por concluida la Línea 2 en los términos proyectados. Impacto económico, social y medioambiental. Metro Bilbao 1987-2013 Pág.2 Antecedentes y Objetivos Con ello se pretende : . Valorar el efecto económico (1) de la construcción (a 25 años de su inicio) y de la operación (18 años) a través de la generación de nuevas actividades y su aportación a la riqueza para Bizkaia y para la C.A.

  • The Vision of a Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
    HARVARD DESIGN SCHOOL THE VISION OF A GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO In a March 31, 1999 article, the Washington Post? posed the following question: "Can a single building bring a whole city back to life? More precisely, can a single modern building designed for an abandoned shipyard by a laid-back California architect breath new economic and cultural life into a decaying industri- al city in the Spanish rust belt?" Still, the issues addressed by the article illustrate only a small part of the multifaceted Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. A thorough study of how this building was conceived and made reveals equally significant aspects such as getting the best from the design architect, the master handling of the project by an inexperienced owner, the pivotal role of the executive architect-project man- ager, the dependence on local expertise for construction, the transformation of the architectural profession by information technology, the budgeting and scheduling of an unprecedented project without sufficient information. By studying these issues, the greater question can be asked: "Can the success of the Guggenheim museum be repeated?" 1 Museum Puts Bilbao Back on Spain’s Economic and Cultural Maps T.R. Reid; The Washington Post; Mar 31, 1999; pg. A.16 Graduate student Stefanos Skylakakis prepared this case under the supervision of Professor Spiro N. Pollalis as the basis for class discussion rather to illustrate effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation, a design process or a design itself.

  • Basque Soccer Madness a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    University of Nevada, Reno Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Basque Studies (Anthropology) by Mariann Vaczi Dr. Joseba Zulaika/Dissertation Advisor May, 2013 Copyright by Mariann Vaczi All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Mariann Vaczi entitled Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Joseba Zulaika, Advisor Sandra Ott, Committee Member Pello Salaburu, Committee Member Robert Winzeler, Committee Member Eleanor Nevins, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2013 i Abstract A centenarian Basque soccer club, Athletic Club (Bilbao) is the ethnographic locus of this dissertation. From a center of the Industrial Revolution, a major European port of capitalism and the birthplace of Basque nationalism and political violence, Bilbao turned into a post-Fordist paradigm of globalization and gentrification. Beyond traditional axes of identification that create social divisions, what unites Basques in Bizkaia province is a soccer team with a philosophy unique in the world of professional sports: Athletic only recruits local Basque players. Playing local becomes an important source of subjectivization and collective identity in one of the best soccer leagues (Spanish) of the most globalized game of the world. This dissertation takes soccer for a cultural performance that reveals relevant anthropological and sociological information about Bilbao, the province of Bizkaia, and the Basques. Early in the twentieth century, soccer was established as the hegemonic sports culture in Spain and in the Basque Country; it has become a multi- billion business, and it serves as a powerful political apparatus and symbolic capital.

  • Bizkaia Aretoa (Bilbao, Spain) 17-‐18 November 2015
    Mer International & Cross-disciplinary Conference Bizkaia Aretoa (Bilbao, Spain) 17-18 November 2015 University of the Basque Country/ Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea www.ehu.eus/en/web/envisioningconference [email protected] Food insecurity and hunger are growing problems in the world. The combined consequences of the financial crisis, market instability and increasing food prices severely aggravate the situation. That is also happening in the wealthy developed world. According to Caritas-Europe, 79 million people are food insecure in the EU (Caritas Report, 2014). That happens while up to half of world food production is wasted (see, among other: FAO, Global food losses and food waste. Extent, causes and prevention, 2011). According to the EU Parliament the current wastage in EU27 is 179kg per capita (89 million tones per annum) and if nothing changes it will get worse, with a major impact in environmental and economic terms as well as ethical implications. MEPs called on the Commission to implement a coordinated strategy combining EU-wide and national measures to improve the efficiency of food consumption chains sector by sector and to tackle food wastage as a matter of urgency (EU Parliament, 2011). When developing strategies for a more efficient food chain, we must take into account that the reasons for the waste are not always the same. This academic conference is designed as a multidisciplinary deliberation forum. It aims to provide us with an opportunity to discuss significant challenges facing the global food system in the 21st Century. The University of the Basque country is hosting the Conference at its Paraninfo, the Bizkaia Aretoa (in front of the Iberdrola Tower and the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao City Center).

  • El Bilbao Soñado De Iñaki Azkuna
    El Bilbao soñado de Iñaki Azkuna Dr. Iñaki Azkuna Alcalde de Bilbao En Bilbao ha habido soñadores y soñadoras forjadores, pero también muchos/as cuya mayor preocupación ha sido la peseta, sin importarles la ciudad. La bilbainada, esa fanfarronía graciosa, ha vivido durante años (más en la época del franquismo, en que hasta para soñar había que pedir permiso) de muchos tópicos: el puente col- gante, los ingenieros, el Athletic, los de Deusto del P. Bernaola, y el Igualatorio. En la actualidad hay espacio para los soñadores, para las oportunidades en la ciudad y, sobre todo, para soñar en cualquier proyecto, por complicado que sea. Bilbao ha mejorado en autoestima y nos sentimos capaces otra vez, como antaño, de levantar- nos de nuestras cenizas. Que el señor Santiago, nuestro patrono, y nuestra patrona de Begoña nos iluminen. Iñaki Azkunaren ametsetako Bilbo Bilbon ameslari ekinzale asko egonagatik, beste askoren kezkarik behinena peze- ta izan da, azken hauei hiriaren nondik norakoak ez zihoazkiela. Bilbainada, ahobe- rokeria xelebre hori, aspaldikoa da (Francoren garaian indar berezia izan zuen; izan ere, amets egiteko ere baimena behar) eta topiko askotan oinarritu da: eskegitako zubian, ingeniarietan, Athleticen, A. Bernaolaren Deustukoetan eta Igualatorioan, bes- teak beste. Gaur egun, badago lekua ameslerientzat, hirian aurrera egiteko eta, zail- tasunak zailtasun, edozein proiektu amets egiteko ere. Bilboren autoestimuak gora egin du eta, ostera ere, lehen bezala, geure errautsetatik altxatzeko gai ikusten dugu geure burua. Santiago gure zaindariak eta Begoñako Amak argitu gaitzatela.
