On May 11 and 12, Rosario will host the second consecutive edition of "Open House," an open-door architecture festival for anyone interested in discovering the city's architecture and urban design.
Open House was founded in London in 1992 by Victoria Thornton with the goal of bringing contemporary architecture closer to city residents. Following its success, the event became an annual occurrence and has since been replicated in more than 45 cities worldwide. In Argentina, it has been organized in Buenos Aires since 2013, which was the first host city in Latin America. In 2018, the festival expanded to Rosario, where it is organized by the non-profit association "OHACHE" to showcase the value of Rosario's architecture, its history, its people, and its hidden stories.
The festival is free and open to the general public. Its main objective is to showcase works of architectural, cultural, and heritage value, bridging the gap between residents, professionals, enthusiasts, and the city. Over the 48-hour event, visitors can explore local sites that are usually closed to the public. Unlike last year's edition, no pre-registration is required for any of the 112 participating sites; admission is free and on a first-come, first-served basis. Complete information on the participating projects and instructions for attending the event can be found on the festival's website or social media channels.
