Architecture in unexpected places, for Architecture Week
The aim is to give people a closer insight into contemporary architecture. A simple assembly process will allow small examples of constructed architecture in the city to be inserted in rather unexpected locations, ranging from a theatre lobby to a corner of a municipal market.
The panels will feature all the projects that form part of the latest edition of Barcelona’s Mostra d’Arquitectura, organised by the Architects’ Association. For each project you can view the photos, read the explanations by their creators, find out who the architects were and who executed them, and so on.
Check out additional information about the works being exhibited on the Mostra d’Arquitectura website.
On Saturday, 20 May, all the exhibition panels will be on display at the COAC building (Plaça Nova, 5) all day through to 1 am to coincide with Museum Night.
Afterwards, from Monday 22 to Friday 26 May, the panels will be spread around various locations in the city.
