The Self-Sufficient City Envisioning the Habitat of the Future

Archi/tech/e/nologies is an open lecture series, bringing together professionals from various fields related to architecture, technology and science. Here, international and local architects explain their strategies in applying their skills to data collection, layout and the mapping of information, exploring common ground with the techniques used by enologists and agricultural engineers. Vicente Guallart, Chief Architect of the City of Barcelona and supporter of the coexistence between technology and nature, contributes his views.


The sessions are conducted in parallel with the international architectural workshop AA Visiting School Barcelona, organised by the AA School of Architecture at the Architectural Association, London, which moves to the city of Barcelona for the first time under the title BODEGA – Enological Metabolism. The workshop will be held from 12–26 July at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona, ETSAB – UPC Barcelona Tech.
