Marquee for IESE

When one of the world's main business schools needs a marquee, it comes to BC Carpas because it offers the design and quality that many companies do not. On this occasion, IESE had to accommodate 1,000 graduates at its Barcelona HQ. The space offered had a difficult layout. After studying the entire space with our team of designers and our architect, we came up with a space filled with marquees that could accommodate all the students, but instead of installing one large marquee that disguised the campus aesthetic, a set of marquees joined to each other was installed. Transparent curtains were installed that showed the landscape and views around the marquee and, since it was sombre, elegant event, all the marquee pillars were covered with grey fabric. This project was one of the most acclaimed and admired at IESE, since no one had ever done anything like that at this business school.
