For the seventh consecutive year, the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture is inaugurating its final degree project exhibition at the iconic architectural complex of the Reales Atarazanas in Barcelona, the current home of the Maritime Museum. Titled Barcel/on/a/line. Green urban strategies from river to river, the exhibition arrives amidst an ongoing debate regarding the difficult balance between the economic and social roles of Barcelona's waterfront, which is currently strained by mass tourism. It presents proposals that connect and reprogram the open spaces along the 10-kilometer coastline between the Besòs and Llobregat rivers, aiming to strengthen its civic character and its connection to the adjacent urban fabric.

Galeria Joan Prats presents Footprints, the first exhibition by architect Josep Lluís Mateo. Through a selection of completed works and projects, the exhibition explores Mateo’s career in a non-chronological manner, seeking ways to narrate architecture through the themes inherent to his practice. Mateo’s architecture is characterized by a modernist legacy, focusing on the pursuit of light, an intense dialogue with context, and a connection between idea and material. His projects are thoughtful and strategic; they speak to space and carefully balance the relationship between the mineral and the vegetal.
