In the current context, contemporary architecture faces major challenges such as adapting to climate change, preserving heritage and protecting people's health. In this setting, the city is both the challenge and the laboratory where all of this is tested. This exhibition is an invitation to observe what a city is today, taking Barcelona, World Capital of Architecture 2026, as a prototype. Its exploration unfolds through three axes. Diversity, allowing us to discover who inhabits the city; intensity, helping us understand how close relationships between people and community life can generate shared responses; and complexity, helping us read the relationships that emerge in a living Barcelona that learns and transforms. The result is an open space in which to experience Barcelona not as a fixed image but as a moving sequence. A city that looks at itself, questions itself and reinvents itself in order to imagine a fairer, more sustainable and more collective urban future. Curators: Pau de Solà-Morales, Andreu Domingo, Eulàlia Gómez and Francesc Muñoz. Graphic and exhibition design: Domestic Data Streamers.
