The Smart Buildings Congress is the leading professional forum on smart buildings in Spain. It brings together the sector's key stakeholders, addressing the current state and future of smart buildings, as well as the implications for companies and professionals involved in the design, construction, and management of buildings and their facilities.
The fourth edition of the Smart Buildings Congress will be held on June 19, 2018, at the COAM headquarters, the Official Architects' Association of Madrid.
The Congress approaches the concept of the smart building from a comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspective. A wide range of topics will be covered, including technical and regulatory issues, as well as business opportunities, with solutions for both new construction and renovation projects.
The event covers the current state and future of the sector through various formats, including research presentations, smart building project exhibitions, panel discussions, and keynote speeches.

As part of the 'ETSAM Lectures' series, Benedetta Tagliabue, an Italian architect based in Barcelona and founder of Miralles Tagliabue EMBT, will visit ETSAM on Monday, March 5, at 12:30 PM in the auditorium.
The exhibition Wellbeing in the City, at the Casa de la Arquitectura and curated by Izaskun Chinchilla, is conceived as a critical device that reconsiders the foundations upon which urban wellbeing has historically been constructed. Rather than defining wellbeing as a set of indicators (life expectancy, obesity or diabetes rates) or the provision of services, the exhibition approaches it as a relational condition, dependent on the quality of interactions between bodies, communities, and environments. At the core of its conceptual framework lies the Quechua term Sumak Kawsay — Buen Vivir or Good Living — which integrates material, biological, social, and ecological dimensions within a single plane.
