UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 Barcelona
In June 2026, Barcelona will host one of the largest global gatherings dedicated to architecture. Over three days, more than 10,000 participants and 250 speakers from around the world will come together across eight stages, with over 100 sessions, a 4,000-square-metre central exhibition and seventy architectural itineraries unfolding across the region. Set along the Mediterranean seafront — from the iconic Three Chimneys turbine hall to major civic venues — the Congress expands beyond a conventional conference format to experience the city. Plenary talks, lectures and debates, open forums, workshops, research presentations and public celebrations will activate the city as a concentrated space of exchange. From 28 June to 2 July, Barcelona becomes a worldwide meeting point for architects, researchers, students and institutions. This is more than a congress. Be part of it.
