The talks, workshops and conversations extend the focus to new international contexts, as with the proposed programme with Acción Cultural Española.
Concéntrico 07 deepens the relationship with Acción Cultural Española, which has been participating in the festival since 2016. Thanks to this new framework, different leading international entities in the field of architecture are invited to Logroño to share their vision of the sector and establish a direct dialogue with the knowledge produced in Spain.
The talk Architecture in the international context in Logroño will be attended by:
Florian Strob / Bauhaus Dessau Foundation
José Esparza / Storefront for Art and Architecture
Iker Gil / MAS Context
Pihla Meskanen / Arkki
Manuel Henriques y Carolina Vicente / Trienal de Lisboa
The Talks programmed with Acción Cultural Española continue in digital format beyond the festival to broaden the scope and topics of debate.
The experience of Mextrópoli in the development of projects for public space or the formal and theoretical approaches of MAS Context with the Chicago Architecture Biennial and Exhibit Columbus are some of the topics that will be the subject of these meetings.
These activities are completed with the workshops, Arquitectura dulce by Arkki at Museo Würth La Rioja, opening the programme for children between 7 and 12 years old, or the collective construction by Herrmann & Coufal at the Library of La Rioja; the cycle of conversations with the authors of the interventions la Mirada de con Palma + Hanghar, Laurent Martin and Matteo Ghidoni – Enrico Dusi; and the exhibitions with the engraving show at Esdir or that of the Concéntrico 07 Competitions that brings together 70 projects of the 630 that were submitted to the calls of this edition.

What if we (as a society) could deepen our relationship with the city by co-creating it? We propose a workshop in which participants can build their own bench or table, following our instructions.
