The COAC will hold a meeting on Tuesday 11 July at 5.45 pm to give a detailed explanation of the competition to select the team of curators for the World Congress of Architects of the International Union of Architects (UIA) Barcelona 2026 and answer any possible questions about the process and the rules.
The event will be led by the dean of the COAC, Guillem Costa Calsamiglia and the coordinator of the organising committee for World Congress of Architects Barcelona UIA 2026, Roger Subirà. They will be accompanied by the chair of the CSCAE, Marta Vall-llossera, and Gemma Ferré, Greta Tresserra and Pep Quílez, the secretary and voting members of the Governing Board, respectively, who will explain the experience in Copenhagen. Finally, Albert Porta, the managing director of Pràctica, will also take part.
The event is mainly aimed at architects, but also at professionals from other disciplines who are interested in participating. One of the objectives of the Congress is to show architecture as a crosscutting tool for improving life in society, opening the door to creating multidisciplinary teams. Though always led by an architecture professional, these teams will also incorporate profiles from other spheres.
The meeting will end with a concert by Albert Bello & Oriol Saña Quartet, integrated by guitarist and soloist Albert Bello, with Oriol Saña on the violin, Quim Martínez on the rhythm guitar and Joan Motera on the double bass. The concert will take place on the eighth floor and begin at 7 pm.
You must register in advance [3] to attend the meeting.
READ THE RULES [4]
The Congress is designed as an opportunity to rethink and update the formats and themes that architecture congresses should adopt. This is why the candidates for the team of curators will undergo an unprecedented international selection process at the UIA with a two-round competition.[Lt1] [6]A l’original posa “Capdferro”, però veiem que hauria d’anar així, ho canviem.
