Concéntrico 09
Direction of the ninth edition of the International Festival of Architecture and Design.
From 27 April to 2 May in Logroño, Concéntrico presents an extensive programme with 21 interventions, meetings and activities involving the work of more than 100 professionals from 15 different nationalities.
In its development, numerous groups and entities that promote new collective practices in the public space are integrated from the local level: educational centres of various levels, such as IES Sagasta, IES Batalla de Clavijo, CEIP Las Gaunas, or social entities associated with Logroño Intercultural and the Rafael Azcona Library, among others.
The ninth edition of Concentrico extends to new areas of the city, widening the object of its interventions from east to west: from the Plaza sin Nombre in the neighbourhood of Madre de Dios to the Cubo; also from north to south: from the river Ebro to the new station park.
Locations and programmes such as Cities Ahead with Goethe-Institut provide a constantly evolving listening to continue to raise debates that look at the city itself. These shared practices extend the temporality of the festival.
Since 2015, the festival has carried out more than 100 urban installations in its eight editions, to which the following teams will be added to the proposals for Concéntrico 09 in 2023:
Barkow Leibinger, Camille Walala, Hollmén Reuter Sandman Architects, Oana Stănescu, Recetas Urbanas (Santiago Cirugeda + Alice Attout), Didier Fiúza Faustino, Os Espacialistas, Studio Ossidiana, Design With Company, Pool is Cool + Dallas, architecture uncomfortable workshop, Marc Morro, Un parell d’arquitectes, Paloma Cañizares, meii estudio + Clara Torregrosa, Gabriel Millán, Jennyfher Alvarado + Alvaro Gonzalez, Daniel Hambly, Frantoio sociale + Hypereden, Catalystas Collective, Vanesa Peña + Carlos Herraiz, Escuela Superior de Diseño de La Rioja.
