Open House Madrid announces the 2nd edition of the City Awards, which recognize the most innovative, social, and engaged proposals that will shape the future of cities.
Open House Madrid is an architecture and city festival that, over the course of a weekend, offers free access to dozens of buildings that are usually closed to the public.
For 2020, Open House Madrid has designed a Special Edition that, under the theme "Rediscover Madrid," will focus on the city as a benchmark for architecture and design. The city's most unique spaces will open their doors through small-group in-person tours and virtual visits. The program ranges from classic and historic buildings to contemporary architecture and some of the most renowned architecture firms, where the public can learn firsthand about the latest developments and the design process behind the buildings that surround us.
The event is titled DigitalFUTURES. It will feature a series of lectures by distinguished architects and engaging architecture and design workshops focused on bio-design, AI, VR, and AR, led by faculty from the AA School, UCL Bartlett, ETH Zurich, ICD Stuttgart, Harvard GSD, UMichigan, UPenn, UCLA, SCI-Arc, Clemson, FIU, FAU, SUTD, RMIT, Angewandte, IAAC, CITA, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, NYU Shanghai, Tongji University, Southeast University, Code-It, Archi-Union, and Zaha Hadid Architects, among others.

Time moves slowly in architecture. While the technological, financial, transport, and commercial industries of the world evolve at an unprecedented, exponential rate, the evolution of cities themselves is not keeping pace.
