Anna & Eugeni Bach

3-day intensive workshop led by architects Anna & Eugeni Bach where they will share the concepts of Multiplicity, Imperfection, Materiality and The unexpected little twist, as a means of expression in their work.

Besides the social, ecological and cultural values of architecture, any architectural work operates through an implicit language. The workshop will help to discover and strengthen the participants own language and reinforce the ultimate meaning of their works.

Over the three-day workshop, we will explore our own and the participant’s goals when working with an architectural project. These will be linked to other previous works and architects in the city of Barcelona via visits to several works and hidden gems in town which will be opened specifically for us.

The visits will reinforce the idea that it is looking backwards that one can walk firmly to its own future.

This workshop is especially intended for students of architecture and young architects with a deep interest in arts, photography, cinema, music and literature as intertwined fields to architecture.
