We are pleased to invite you to Architecture in Transition: from Heritage to Urban Futures, which will take place on 8 May 2025 at 11:30 a.m. at Palazzo Zorzi in Venice. During the presentation, the curatorial team will outline the structure and content of the UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 Barcelona under the theme Becoming. Architectures for a Planet in Transition.
In 2026, Barcelona will once again become the global epicentre of architecture, transforming the city into an international laboratory for contemporary architecture and all related disciplines.
The presentation will be attended by senior representatives from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda (MIVAU), the Generalitat de Catalunya, and Barcelona City Council; as well as representatives from the International Union of Architects (UIA), the Higher Council of Professional Associations of Architects of Spain (CSCAE) and the Architects’ Association of Catalonia (COAC).
