Housing, with HArquitectes and Bosch Capdeferro at Converses DesenFADades
ARQUIN-FAD, in collaboration with the Mies van der Rohe Foundation, is organising a new series of «Converses desenFADades», bringing together winners and finalists of the EU Mies Awards and the FAD Awards for Architecture and Interior Design.
This conversation, which will take place on September 9 at the Cub space of the Disseny Hub Barcelona, the participating architecture studios will be HArquitectes and Bosch Capdeferro.
The initiative aims to foster knowledge and debate around significant projects developed in Europe in recent years, as well as to promote the essential values and the transformative capacity of architecture.
Each session is structured around a key concept that shapes the conversation between participants and the audience, addressing the role of architecture and its related disciplines within the social and cultural reality of the city of Barcelona, as well as their response to the needs of the communities they serve.
In this fifth conversation, the participating architecture studios will be HArquitectes and Bosch Capdeferro.
This time, we will focus on housing. Today, housing is at the heart of political and social debate: affordability, sustainability, and availability, as well as typologies, materials, and forms of organization. We will discuss with architecture studios that have pioneered innovation in this field the issues that have radically transformed housing design in the decade following the financial crisis
