The great architecture festival has been divided into seven weeks in which there will be exhibitions, conferences, itineraries, artistic activities and guided tours. Within the third week, the event was held at La Chalmeta, a cooperative housing in La Marina del Prat Vermell promoted by Llar Jove. On 30 May, at 6.30 pm, there will be a visit to the building, one of the 18 examples of cooperative housing in cession of use that are included in the book Cohabitatge a Barcelona (cohousing in Barcelona). The visit is free but prior booking is required.

For the fifth Architecture Week, the Biblioteca Fort Pienc– Ana María Moix [Library]is organising guided tours to enjoy the city’s sgraffiti façades, with advance registration on 11 & 14 June Based on the book Barcelona esgrafiada by Lluís Duran (Barcelona Llibres, 2023). A unique itinerary in which you will walk around the Eixample district discovering some of the most original façades of the neighbourhood decorated with this technique, which not only embellishes the buildings, but also gives them a unique singularity. In the words of the author, it’s a walk that is a gift for our eyes.
The route will start at the Biblioteca Fort Pienc – Ana María Moix and will end at Carrer València/Passeig de St. Joan. Itinerary led by Núria Pujol, historian and official guide.
