Migration has been a constant phenomenon throughout human history and has played a fundamental role in the formation and development of cities. While it may not appear to be a particularly novel approach at first glance, there are few topics more relevant today than migration, which is intersected by political, geostrategic, economic, environmental, and urban issues. Today, new structural factors are driving it with greater force than ever before. Instability in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, the war in Ukraine, climate change, poverty, and population growth only serve to increase the flow of people seeking a better place in the world.

Architecture in Spain has emphasized the revitalization of buildings and historic centers, fostering more balanced urban development.

Together, we seek to highlight and recognize the innovative work of Spanish architects, whose proposals inspire new and better practices in urban remodeling.

Proyecta is an exhibition centered on the very essence of professional architectural practice: the act of designing, giving way to creation, conceiving forms, and thereby conveying the ideas, thoughts, and ideals inherent to the authors of the designs. Each project tells a story from its inception, reconciling formal ideals with the specific requirements of each work. Often, the best projects may remain on the drawing board, be archived, or be realized only after undergoing transformations as part of the materialization process, always susceptible to modification due to the impact of the circumstances of their historical moment. In this way, the exhibition creates a space for new creative explorations toward the design of a new city.
