We are a unique community of students and professionals leading change through design
From its industrial past, Bilbao has successfully reinvented itself through culture, design, and innovation. Compared to other major urban centers, it also offers an accessible, safe, and non-overcrowded city, allowing for a closer, higher-quality way of living and studying.
In this context, IED Kunsthal Bilbao is located in Zorrozaurre, one of the city’s main urban transformation areas, where new ways of living, creating, and learning are being shaped in dialogue with companies, institutions, and cultural agents.
Here, design education is developed from a comprehensive, humanistic, and experiential perspective. Through small groups and real projects, students work alongside active professionals and become part of a creative community that fosters personal development, supported by the international reach of the IED network.
