A total of 1,544 proposals from 88 countries, across three categories—Critical Essay, Critical Design, and Critical Image—were evaluated by a distinguished jury of experts. We extend our gratitude to all participants for their valuable contributions and invite them to join the Congress in Barcelona in 2026 to experience this global gathering.
The selected proposals will be featured in the Congress in various formats, including the official catalog, the exhibition, or as presentations within the speakers program.
“These works stand out for their conceptual clarity, methodological rigor, and their ability to articulate innovative responses to the ecological, social, and cultural transformations that define our time.” — Call for Participants Jury —
