Architecture & The Media

Architecture Week also offers live streaming sessions of the second edition of the European Conference on Architecture & the Media, organised by the Mies van der Rohe Foundation under the framework of the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.

Five sessions with talks, roundtables and workshops focused on the dissemination of architecture through the radio and television, and their digital versions, which the eminent photographer Iwan Baan will conclude.

Architecture in the classroom

This ‘from home’ edition of Architecture Week gives children and young people access to some thirty activities chosen from the ‘Architecture in the classroom’ programme, which could not be held in schools this year as planned.

The aim behind this project from the Architects’ Association is to bring architecture to primary and secondary schools and give young children and teenagers a new approach to the spaces that accompany them, excite them, build relationships, create inclusive dynamics and that are an expression of the civilisation and culture of our times.

ArquinFilm and FAD Awards for Architecture and Interior Design

This year sees our film and architecture exhibition, ArquinFilm, organised by ARQUIN-FAD as part of Architecture Week, switch from the Filmoteca’s big screen, where the cycle is usually held, to our home screens. In collaboration with Betevé (Barcelona TV), the cycle will be broadcast from 7 to 17 May, open to everyone and for all audiences.

The awards ceremony for the finalists and winners of the FAD Awards for Architecture and Interior Design, organised by ARQUIN-FAD, will also be broadcast live on 7 May.

Reading room

We are opening a new reading space for Architecture Week thanks to the city’s main architecture bookshops and specialist publishers, who are offering summaries of publications accessible to everyone and, through the Architecture Bookshops initiative, are organising discounts and prize draws for packs of books during the week.

For little ones

Architecture Week offers a series of ‘from home’ activities for kids. A drawing competition for children, workshops on building a geodesic dome using household materials, a Canadian cabin with bars or straws, a structure in the shape of a snail’s shell or a hyperboloid of revolution, along with 30 activities and workshops from the ‘Architecture in the classroom’ programme and ten workshops linked to the Architecture Festivals in the districts are just some of the activities to learn with children from home.
