The 48h Open House Barcelona architecture festival returns on the weekend of 26 and 27 October for its 15th edition and asks the public, "How do you want to live?"
This year, the festival seeks to understand what is most important to city inhabitants from the perspective of architecture. To explore the answer to this central question, the value attributed to seven fundamental characteristics when designing and experiencing a space will be explored: brightness, strength, location, orientation, functionality, beauty, and comfort.
"We want people to ask themselves how they want to live and what is important to them in a space. We believe that it is necessary to highlight the values of architecture and make them tangible in order to be able to understand and claim an architecture that is appropriate for everyone," says Elisenda Bonet, director of the festival and the 48h Open House Barcelona association.
