On Saturday 14 in the afternoon, we re-value water architecture at the Horta-Guinardó Architecture Festival. On the descent from Can Mateu, known as Illa de les Bugaderes, we celebrate that the wells and washrooms in this area have been saved, a tribute to the women of Horta. We will enjoy this space drawing with water – watercolours – and sharing the cycle of all of Barcelona’s districts’ Water Architecture with everyone.

With the help of various collaborating entities, we look forward to sharing the following ACTIVITIES:

  • 4pm A welcome from COAC Barcelona
  • 4 pm-7pm Architectural drawing workshop: Come and draw with water (Urban Sketchers Bcn)
  • 17-18h Exhibition of proposals Laundry Island (SAFA Horta)
  • 6 pm-7pm Water Cycle Exhibition (COAC Barcelona)

ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL 2022

As part of the 2022 Architecture Festival, the COAC’s Barcelona Demarcation is holding 10 Architecture Festivals, one for each of the city’s districts. All these parties are face-to-face and open to the public, always respecting health safety measures.

Organised by the different Territorial Groups of Architects of Barcelona, together with other entities such as residents’ associations, universities, architects¡ offices or different schools in each district, these festivals have as their main objective to claim a space or an emblematic building in each district. Guided tours, talks, concerts and various types of workshops are organised around these public spaces and buildings, among others. The ultimate goal is to highlight the profession of architects and their social function, always aimed at serving the public.
