Open House Europe will hold its third Annual Summit in Athens on January 9–10, 2026. Hosted by Open House Athens, co-hosted by Open House Slovenia and Open House Thessaloniki, and coordinated by Architektūros fondas, the Summit will once again convene festival organisers, architecture professionals, students, enthusiasts, and partners from across the continent and beyond for shared reflection, exchange, and dialogue.
At the heart of this year’s public programme is Future Heritage, the guiding theme for the 2025 season of Open House Europe. The Summit will explore how the ideas, spaces, and practices we shape today may become the legacy of tomorrow, and how architecture can help us imagine a more inclusive, resilient, and interconnected European future.
Across a series of panel discussions, the Summit will examine heritage as a resource for contemporary architectural practice, look at the values and conditions shaping the future of architecture in Europe, and reflect on the potential of the Open House model itself. These conversations invite participants to rethink the relationship between past, present, and future and to consider how public engagement with architecture can support long-term cultural and spatial transformation.
