Barcelona Architecture Weeks 2025

From May 12 to June 28, the Barcelona City Council and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation are organizing Architecture Weeks 2025, featuring an extensive program designed to strengthen the relationship between architecture and the public. Exhibitions, competitions, awards, talks, guided tours, celebrations, and much more will take place across all districts of the city, and for all audiences. This edition takes on special significance as Barcelona will be the World Capital of Architecture in 2026, a title awarded by UNESCO-UIA.
