In the fourth edition of Concéntrico, Logroño’s International Architecture and Design Festival, there were 14 design and architecture teams from Spain and abroad (Germany, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, France, Italy and Argentina) who have worked to design their interventions in response to each of the proposed locations.

Plastique Fantastique (Berlin), AA Architectural Association Interprofessional Studio (London), Jorge Penadés (Málaga), David Bestué (Barcelona), Davide Marchetti (Rome), Collectif Parenthèse (Paris), Mjölk (Prague), Blurarquitectura (Logroño), Jairo Rodríguez (Burgos), Sebastián Andrés Podestá and Lucas Seré Pletzer (Buenos Aires), Fernando Cruzado, Julia Díaz, F. Javier Fernández and Ane Villaverde (Andalucía and Basque Country) and Miriam Alonso, Patricia Ramos and Paula Mena (Madrid). New this year, the San Sebastian School of Architecture is taking part as an invited school of the festival.

The exhibition and activities broaden the focus to new international contexts, such as Czech architect Martin Rajniš, who is exhibiting his work specialising in wood constructions, and Migrant Garden, a reflection on the processes of migration through small architectures, among others.

The final part of the programme is the participation of the La Rioja School of Design, the associate school of the festival, which includes the exhibition I’m design, and the exhibition Concéntrico 04 Competitions, an exhibition displaying the proposals presented as part of the Concéntrico 04 competitions.

At Concéntrico 04 we aim to bring the festival’s activities to other cultural and professional contexts. With the support of the Spanish Cultural Program of Action (AC/E) for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture (PICE), we have organised the programme Discussions on curating, research, dissemination and teaching of architecture in contemporary formats. It seeks to promote knowledge and reflection on citizenry, presenting different festivals, universities, publications and events on architecture that connect realities and professionals from different countries: Portugal, France, Chile and Spain.
