Should a building be a world onto itself? Or should it relate to its context? Do the best
buildings achieve both: create their own order and language while also addressing and even shaping their environment?
Following the International Conferences on Architectural Criticism (2021), on Architectural Quality (2022), and on Architecture as Built
Criticism (2023), the 2024 conference seeks papers that show how realized buildings stand in the autonomy and engagement debate.

BFA are looking back to look forward.

On April 17 at 7:00 PM, Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the Fundación Arquia in Madrid (c/ del Tutor, 16) for a screening of "The Divine Way," an award-winning short film that pays tribute to the staircase through a journey across various classical and contemporary buildings. Loosely inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, the film uses the metaphor of the staircase to reflect on "the journey of self-discovery in relation to architecture and landscape," in the words of director Ilaria di Carlo. To discuss staircases following the screening, architect Santiago de Molina—author of Todas las escaleras del mundo, an essay reflecting on this essential architectural element from antiquity to the masters of modern architecture—will be present. He will be joined by historian and journalist José María Faerna, who highlights the renewed prominence of staircases in contemporary buildings recently recognized at the FAD Awards and the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism. Rounding out the panel is Joan Roig, founding architect of the firm Batlleiroig, who will discuss the role of staircases in architectural history and their narrative function in cinema.
