Concentrico 2025: The Politics of Urban Presence
Briefly

Concéntrico is an annual architectural festival held in Logroño, which transforms public spaces into venues for contemporary architecture. It redefines urban interaction and is not a traditional fair but a public engagement platform. Over ten editions, this event challenges perceptions of overlooked cities by hosting innovative structural interventions, prompting citizens and architects to reimagine urban spaces. Beyond aesthetics, Concéntrico serves as a platform for political discourse, emphasizing care and community over efficiency. By placing speculative architecture in everyday spaces, it invites critical dialogue about the future possibilities of urban life.
Every June, the Spanish city of Logroño transforms into a space of architectural dialogue, opening its streets, plazas, riverbanks, and traffic islands to temporary structures that redefine how cities are inhabited.
Concéntrico presents itself as a temporary promise. It's a reminder that even cities that are often overlooked can host architecture that is current, diverse, and speculative.
The interventions offer speculative proposals for urban life that reveal what is missing, what is possible, and what should be questioned.
The festival becomes not just a reflection of the city, but an instrument for its transformation.
