48H OPEN HOUSE BCN
BARCELONA, SPAIN
22-23 OCTOBER

The 13th edition of Open House Barcelona returns with special guests: professionals and artisans who materialise the environment we live in. The focus on what lies beyond the building – on crafts, processes, and elements – is a way of breaking down barriers between designers and craftsmen, and between users and architects. It also recognizes architecture as a collaborative effort. Highlights include Casa Les Punxes x Cloudworks, a collaborative and event space; Ateneu de Fabricació Digital de Gràcia, an old industrial warehouse converted into a FabLab; and the SEAT pavilion, a modern building that houses a canteen for factory workers.
