MODEL. Barcelona Architectures Festival
From 5 to 15 May 2022

Model. Barcelona Architectures Festival is a space for reflection and celebration that brings us experimental architecture and helps us to rethink how we wish to live together through new city models and imaginaries.

Launched by Barcelona City Council and the Catalan Architects’ Association (COAC), the festival aims to transform the urban space into a platform for architectural talent and up-and-coming design, the city into a meeting forum for leading thinkers from around the world and, more significantly, architecture into a space for exploration and inspiration for all citizens.

This is the Model Festival 2022

Colon-ising Port

From 05/05/2022 to 30/06/2022

Augmented reality The ON-A architecture studio proposes transforming the Columbus monument at Port Vell into an enormous tree that will be a symbol of access from La Rambla to a new imaginary park: the Parc Blau. Transforming a historical monument that exists merely to be observed, and that speaks to us of a colonisation that took place in another era brings a new “Colon-isation” [Columbus in Spanish is Colón]. We can observe the Arbre Colon-itzador [Colon-ising Tree], a symbol of the ports openness towards the city, something full of biodiversity that everyone can enjoy and visit. Més informació
