Festival Concentrico 2026 Announces Three Selected Urban Installations From Its International Open Calls
"Concéntrico is an urban innovation laboratory that invites reflection on the city through architecture and design. Since 2015, it has carried out more than 180 interventions in Logroño, Spain. The new 2025/2026 season of the festival expands on this experimental spirit with three international calls for proposals that bring the ideas in the book Concéntrico: Laboratorio de Innovación Urbana (Park Books, 2025) into action."
"This year, the organization received 466 proposals from 41 countries, reflecting strong interest in experimental practices in public space. An international jury selected the winning projects for the three calls: Ephemeral Agents, Urban Ecologies, and Identity & Fiction. Play, climate, and collective movement are the three lines that run through the selected projects, translating the concepts explored in the book into action across three areas of work: the social and temporal; the material and environmental; and the symbolic and narrative."
"This year also marks the festival's expansion into a new context with Concéntrico x Cruïlla, a new call within Barcelona World Capital of Architecture. The initiative aims to bring architectural thinking into the scenic field, connecting music, contemporary creation, and community within urban space, and exploring new relationships between architecture and popular culture. The call invites proposals for the design of the two main stages for Cruïlla"
