Itineraries
Curatorial team – AMOO (Aureli Mora + Omar Ornaque)
The UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 Barcelona offers attendees a wide variety of guided itineraries that complement the six conceptual axes of Becoming. Architectures for a planet in transition —More-than-human, Attuned, Embodied, Interdependent, Hyper-conscious and Circular—. These itineraries translate the conceptual proposal of the Congress into an immersive experience through visits to numerous reference architectural interventions in the Barcelona metropolitan area and throughout Catalonia.
Becoming Itineraries
Each of the six conceptual themes of the conference will feature two half-day itineraries, offering two ways of interpreting the same concept through architectural works, infrastructure and urban spaces relevant to the city and its surroundings. Covering a broad time span — beyond nostalgia or novelty — these crafted circuits will help us understand that these concerns present in the Becoming theme, although changing, have been consistently present over time in architectural practice.
Global connections: spaces for communication, research, and innovation
Territory Itineraries
Full-day itineraries will showcase the quality of the architecture built outside Barcelona’s metropolitan area, which is necessary to understand many of the changes that the city has undergone historically. The itineraries cover six radial axes, with its centre in Barcelona and radiating to the rest of the Catalan territory.
Maritime Itineraries
Another tour is offered in parallel – outside the conceptual framework of the conference – to help us understand the evolution and future challenges of Barcelona and its coastline, from a maritime perspective. A boat trip, on the popular Golondrinas, will depart from the old town to dock at the Barcelona International Convention Center (CCIB), the main venue for the conference.
