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.
