UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 Barcelona
We are proud to announce Labóh is the communications agency responsible for leading and designing the dissemination of the UIA World Congress of Architects 2026 Barcelona across press, social media and events.
The UIA World Congress of Architects, organised by the International Union of Architects, has been held every three years since 1948. This edition, taking place in Barcelona in 2026 is organised by the Higher Council of Spanish Colleges of Architects Guilds (CSCAE), in collaboration with the Architects' Association of Catalonia (COAC) and the participation and financing of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, the Generalitat of Catalunya and the Barcelona City Council.
The congress is framed by a curatorial proposal Becoming: Architectures for a planet in transition, defined by the curatorial team formed by a collective of architects spanning generations, Pau Bajet, Mariona Benedito, Maria Giramé, Tomeu Ramis, Pau Sarquella and Carmen Torres, that will define the UIA2026BCN.
