Carme Pigem Open Lecture

Carme Pigem Lecture – RCR Arquitectes at IAAC Valldaura Labs

The official opening of the Barcelona Architecture Week will take place next May 9th. On that date, in the exceptional setting of the Valladura Labs, the Pritzker Prize Carme Pigem of RCR Arquitectes will give an open lecture presenting the most representative works of her career.

Aranda, Pigem and Vilalta founded the practice RCR Arquitectes in 1988. Their works range from public and private spaces to cultural venues and educational institutions, and their ability to intensely relate the environment specific to each site is a testament to their process and deep integrity.

Barcelona certainly has an everyday heritage of undeniable value in its urban architecture. Architecture is the basis of the physical space where Barcelona’s residents live their lives, so Architecture Week aims to strengthen this essential bond between architecture and the public.
