Concéntrico is the International Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño that proposes to reflect on the urban environment and the city.

The eighth edition was held from September 1 to 6, 2022 with participants, guests, visitors and teams developing interventions in Logroño: 23 actions, workshops, 100 urban chairs and lounges, meetings, activities and exhibitions that transform the city by proposing new collective uses that reinforce the idea of community in public space.

Focus – The city and the locations

In 2022 we expanded the festival’s usual focus to explore new urban practices: locations that emerge from constant listening to continue to raise debates that look at the city itself.

The projects explore themes such as the domesticity, identity, ecology, the city and play, and social commitment in locations that connect us with new landscapes such as Mount Cantabria, a viewpoint over Logroño, or the Ebro River along the riverbed; unique urban spaces with which to work on the next scale as La Rosaleda del Paseo del Espolón or Obispo Bustamante Street; or the new fabrics and spaces in transformation as the Felipe VI Park or the site of Marqués de San Nicolás Street where to claim the playful as a collective activity.
