Becoming. Architectures for a planet in transitions
28 June - 2 July 2026

The UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 Barcelona (UIA2026BCN) is a unique international event for architectural dialogue. It brings together renowned architects, researchers, and leading figures from various disciplines and invites architecture and design professionals to engage in dynamic dialogue and a collective exploration of future perspectives. The UIA World Congress of Architects is convened by the International Union of Architects. 

The Congress takes place every three years in a different city. In 2026, it will be held in Barcelona and UNESCO has consequently designated the city as the World Capital of Architecture 2026.

UIA2026BCN is organised by the CSCAE, in collaboration with COAC and the participation and financing of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, the Generalitat of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council.
