This year's 17th edition of the festival invites participants to reflect on the question, 'What if architecture suddenly ceased to exist?' This thought-provoking theme encourages visitors to recognise the architecture that surrounds them daily, often without conscious awareness.
In addition to Badalona, six other cities will participate in this year's festival: Barcelona, L'Hospitalet, Sant Joan Despí, Vilassar de Dalt, and Sitges, offering over 200 free activities and visits to various buildings.
