MODEL. Barcelona Festival of Architectures _ Océane Ragoucy
Model. Barcelona Architectures Festival is a space for reflection and celebration that brings us experimental architecture and helps us to rethink how we wish to live together through new city models and imaginaries.
Launched by Barcelona City Council and the Catalan Architects' Association (COAC) in 2022, it is organised through the Fundació Mies van der Rohe in collaboration with a broad team of architects, curators and more than 50 of the city’s institutions and organisations, chosen through an open call for entries.
Model aims to turn urban spaces into a platform for architectural talent and up-and-coming design, the city into a meeting forum for leading thinkers from around the world and, more significantly, architecture into a space for exploration and inspiration for all the city's residents.
Collaboration with LINA Fellow Océane Ragoucy
Following several online conversations, Océane was asked to moderate two round tables during the EUmies Awards Day that took place on 14 May in Palau Victòria Eugènia, next to the Barcelona Pavilion. The Talks were split into two parts, each one having a series of presentations by the authors of the winner and finalist works, followed by two round tables that also included the clients of these works. The topics were discussed together, focusing on the one hand on transformation and on the other on the role of the industry, and the role of the client was considered essential in the development of the works.
