Past Events 2021

How can we make building more climate-friendly by design? How can we improve the carbon footprint of existing buildings and existing neighbourhoods? How can a city prepare for climate change? These and other questions were addressed at this symposium, attended by distinguished experts from around the world.

Frauen Bauen Stadt - The City Through a Female Lens takes a look at the city of tomorrow and explores the questions: To what extent will the city of the future be tailored to the wishes and needs of women? And what role do female architects and urban planners play in this?

This time, IBA meets Architects features the architectural duo Flores & Prats. In 1924, the cooperative "Justícia i Pau" built a socio-cultural centre in Barcelona. From the 1980s, the building stood empty until it was given a new lease of life with the conversion by Flores & Prats.

Evening Lectures and Debate

The symposium will gather positions from philosophy, social science, architecture and planning to explore the ways in which Covid-19 pandemic has affected housing and living situations, and what can emerge from this experience.

At a communal "multigenerational festival", the focus was on children, senior citizens and intergenerational coming together, playing and chatting.
