In this fifth edition, the festival offers 16 installations and urban performances of architecture and design teams from different countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Finland and Spain. The teams are invited to transform the city through interventions that modify the perception and experience of the locations.

The festival broadens its focus of interest, introducing new spaces in each edition that seek to investigate new typologies and that respond to changing urban environments. In Concentrico 05 the memory of industrial architecture is incorporated, with the chimeney of the old Tabacalera, the Ebro river and its linear park that structures the northern part of the city, the heritage and its interpretation in a new patio under the tower of the Church of San Bartolomé, and several parking spaces of El Espolón, always in debate in the current context.

The Wooden Deck

A wooden terrace built directly on 3 vehicles on the street. In this atypical terrace, passers-by will be able to sit down, discuss, debate and imagine a new world…

Signals 1.0

Signals invites everyone to take part in a collective experiment, to use the act of walking to experience the city and to revisit its memories

Performance
Departure from Pavilion

3×3

The piece is closed, compact and rigorous in its form but on the contrary it is porous and transparent. It plays with the perception of the one that explores it

Vaumm
Plaza del Revellín
Intervention

Underground

A sound installation that invites the visitor to imagine a moment of what could have been witness, the birth of an urban culture, the skate culture

Lucas Muñoz
Calado de San Gregorio
Intervention

La hoja

La hoja is intended to be a piece that people can use spontaneously, without associated rules or codes. A leaf that is a democratic stage of appropriation

FAHR 021.3
Plaza de San Bartolomé
Intervention

Nolla

A small summer cottage concept challenging the current norm. Small, leaving the smallest possible footprint. No permanent concrete base

Robin Falck
Colegio de Arquitectos Patio
Intervention

The Tower

An ephemeral construction as a connection between the secular world and the spiritual one. The material is maximized to create the highest possible structure

Archwerk
Iglesia de San Bartolomé Patio
Intervention

Living Cloister

The work, made of the seven indistinct beings, wants to be a gravestone of what we forgot, or the incipit of what we haven’t discovered yet. They are their own symbol

Parasite 2.0
Palacio Cloister
Intervention

Passage

The performance aims to change the character of passage of this “passage” in a stationary space where to stand, sit and look, putting the value of the memory of the place

Alfrefo Baladrón
Chimenea de la Tabacalera
Intervention

Taburete Tower

After the festival, this vertical accent will be dismantled into a number of heavy duty stools that people who will happen to be present during the finissage will receive and take home

Intervention

Tea, Chocolate & Coffee

This intervention proposes re-imagining your patio as a Corral de Comedias to transmit and interpret these stories from a series of architectural spaces that invite storytelling

Intervention

Las columnas misteriosas

As a simple gesture, the columns can be reorganised to create new spatial configurations, and at night they can transform into light beacons to give the square a new life

EBBA architects
Plaza de Santa Ana
Intervention

The Sail at the Ebro

An ephemeral fabric structure held by tension on some wooden masts, within which we propose various uses and activities, we complement the usual activities of the park

ENSA Normandie
Parque del Ebro
Intervention

Stairway to heaven

The proposal invites us to contemplate reality with a new point of view. The installation consists of the creation of an element in height that places the viewer’s point of view above.
