By 2050, Africa’s cities will be home to an additional 950 million people. This event brings together various African designers, architects, engineers, and other professionals using homegrown solutions to address this unique nexus of opportunities and challenges, using solutions that tie together innovation, technology and craft, while elevating the vernacular.
Starting May 1, the 'EUmies Awards 2022' exhibition—featuring models, texts, videos, sketches, and drawings of the 40 shortlisted projects and a summary of the 532 nominated works—opens at Espai Serrahima – Eskalndestino (a 4-minute walk from the Barcelona Pavilion).
On May 11, the Disseny Hub Barcelona will bring together various figures rooted in the world of architecture to discuss the multiple roles of cities in the 21st century, the state of architecture and urbanism in contemporary society, and to present the Barcelona Protocol—a document developed throughout the day via the contributions of twenty-six international voices.
From May 5 to 15, the first edition of Model. Barcelona Architectural Festival will take place. Co-organized by the Barcelona City Council and the Architects' Association of Catalonia (COAC), the event will serve as an open, plural, and multidisciplinary space for reflection, addressing key debates in architecture and urbanism to confront the social, political, and climate challenges of the 21st century.
