"Using this new format, the event will become a meeting point for a wide range of activities relating to the world of architecture and the city, beyond disciplinary and territorial boundaries. All this, with the desire to prompt reflection on the built environment of cities and its value through the dissemination of architectural activity, knowledge, experience and debate," said The Fundació Mies van der Rohe.

This year's edition is using the city’s coastal area as its guest space, inviting us to take part in a collective reflection on the city by the sea, the great coastal and port spaces and the opportunities for change and conflict that take shape there. 

In addition, there's another unexpected protagonist, given little visibility to date: the domestic domain, very present and visible in our own daily lives but also in the public realm in recent weeks

The event also contributes to the debate, on the communication challenges of contemporary architecture in this case, we invite media from all over Europe and those interested in the ways in which knowledge about architecture is spread and disseminated in the second edition of Architecture and the Media, this year with a special emphasis on audiovisual media.
