Emerging international architects invite us to think about other relationships with our surroundings by constructing seven different scenarios in the Patio of
La Casa Encendida through prisms such as climate, soils, material transformation, work, coexistence between different species, and technology.
The Ecologies for other architectures cycle proposes a journey through seven proposals by international architecture studios selected from the New Generations project, an international network of emerging architects in which they reflect on the urgent issues of the present and the future and which, to date, has involved in its proposals more than 500 practices from more than 20 countries of the European community. For one weekend, in the Patio of La Casa Encendida, you can visit seven installations, models, or models that propose a kinder practice with other communities (human and non-human), ecosystems, and territories. In the Auditorium, on Saturday, October 1, the studios will present their projects from 6 to 9 pm. Ecologies for other architectures is curated by Gianpiero Venturini, founder of Itinerant Office and director of New Generations.
