Concéntrico
Festival 2025
19 to 24 June
From June 19 to 24, 2025, Concéntrico celebrates in Logroño a special edition marking a decade of exploration around public space. Since its founding in 2015, the International Festival of Architecture and Design has turned the city into an urban laboratory for imagining new ways of inhabiting the commons. Over the past ten years, Concéntrico has brought together hundreds of international creators, activating the urban environment through design, architecture, and collective thinking.
The 2025 edition culminates a season of expansion in which Concéntrico has broadened its reach through permanent projects, international itineraries, exhibitions, and educational programs. In this context, the festival reaffirms its role as a critical and open platform for reflecting on the present and future of our cities, connecting creative communities, institutions, and citizens in a shared process.
For six days, Logroño becomes a collective territory of research, celebration, and action. Ephemeral interventions, immersive installations, collective workshops, gatherings, and urban walks generate new readings of space, raising questions about the social, ecological, and cultural challenges of the built environment.
The Concéntrico 2025 program is structured around four main curatorial themes that address essential dimensions of contemporary dwelling:
Food as a relational, cultural, and spatial practice. Proposals in this theme explore eating as a shared experience that activates connections, stories, and collective forms of organization. From community gardens to performative dinners and open kitchens, food becomes a device for rethinking the public realm.
Climate as a global urgency and an opportunity for transformation. The interventions approach climate adaptation through material, ecological, and symbolic solutions: solar architectures, shaded spaces, resource recycling, and traditional building techniques that propose more balanced ways of living with our environment.
Water as landscape, memory, and material. This theme reactivates relationships with the city’s riverbanks, fountains, and water flows, proposing new ways of using, contemplating, and caring for them. Urban baths, water-harvesting devices, and collective rituals highlight water as a shared resource and common good.
Social processes and rituals as activators of collective space. Through everyday gestures, participatory actions, and shared celebrations, these proposals highlight the affective and political dimensions of urban life. Community, festivity, intimacy, and politics intertwine in interventions that build the city through bodies, emotions, and imagination.
Concéntrico 2025 brings together studios and creators from diverse geographies and disciplines, whose proposals unfold across squares, roundabouts, vacant lots, streets, and the banks of the Ebro River. Participating are: Leopold Banchini Architects, MVRDV, Zyva studio, SalazarSequeroMedina, Sam Chermayeff Office, Studio ACTE, Andreia Garcia + Diogo Aguiar, Bayona studio, Traumnovelle, Lemonot + O-SH, Erazo Pugliese, BairBalliet, Nami ñami Studio, Soft Baroque, Sahra Hersi, h3o architects, Emil Ivănescu + Simina Filat, IC-98 & Suomi-Koivisto, Raghad Al-Ahmad, Chris Kabel, and Colectivo 2001.
Joining them are the winners of the international open calls launched by the festival: Studio An-An, Abad, Borneo, and JMBAD (Joseph Melka and Balthazar Auguste-Dormeuil), selected for their proposals’ ability to activate public space through experimental, participatory, and sustainable approaches.
Concéntrico thus invites visitors to discover a city in transformation, where design becomes a tool to imagine possible futures, rehearse forms of coexistence, and celebrate ten years of collective thinking on public space.

The Boxing Dinner
The intervention is a living organism where people create and transform their own spaces. Between tables and mobile pieces, the public turns the place into a ring of encounters, debates, tensions and emotions.

Ser-miento
A project that reuses vine shoots — the branches pruned in winter — transforming them into construction material. It creates an urban plaza that celebrates the memory of the vineyard, a theatrical, natural, and geometric space inviting contemplation and interaction.

A Third of life
An experimental pavilion combines art, architecture, poetry and music to invite rest and reflection. Inspired by surrealism and the practices of Asclepios, it proposes a collective journey into the subconscious. Its secret garden revitalises the city and offers refuge to all living beings.

Caseta de obra
A temporary and collective space, built with reused materials and ephemeral assemblies, becomes a workshop, an archive and a manifesto of a circular architecture that imagines the future from what remains.

Todas las líneas son discontinuas
Every line is born fragmented, made of pauses and failures, reminding us that continuity is fiction and that between each point there is always a void, a leap, a silence in transit.
Andreia García + Diogo Aguilar Studio
Parque del Ebro
Intervention

Habitar el Río
Next to the old Ebro dock, the installation creates a transitional space between the natural riverbank and the urban edge. White fabrics and wooden panels provide shade and thermal comfort during the warmer months.

The intervention is a series of circular spaces that, inspired by the crop top, combine visual and structural framing through partial surfaces that crop views and minimize materials to highlight what is absent.

La batalla del jardinero planetario
Inspired by Gilles Clément’s “planetary garden,” the project transforms an urban void on Calle San Roque into a living terrace of the Third Landscape, where humanity takes on its role as collective gardener, caring for biodiversity and awakening awareness for a more sustainable future.
Borneo
Calle San Roque
Intervention

Reciclar la ecología
An intervention that imagines new forms of relationship between humans and non-human ecosystems, reclaiming the social memory of the place; thus, the space becomes an epicenter of biodiversity, offering refuge to birds, bats, cats, and butterflies, and celebrating shared life.
Abad
Plaza Inmaculada

Earth Cooking
A space-process where molding clay, cooking, eating, and returning the material to the ground becomes a collective act that challenges linear models, creating a common, temporary cycle rooted in the earth.

Sleeping in the hay
An urban hay bed evokes the scent, breeze, and archaic feeling of a summer field — an increasingly rare experience in the contemporary, technological city.
