Benedetta Tagliabue will speak at the Hospital Sant Pau next 16th of April, as part of the extensive 4-day program of the International Conference and Chapter Meeting organized by AIA Europe – A Chapter of The American Institute of Architects.

Barcelona’s commitment to build new buildings and reinvigorate existing ones continues unabated: projects employ innovative and unique design strategies and range in scale from small interventions to the urban scale. The city has also rallied behind projects previously ignored, such as the completion Antonio Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia by 2026. Other notable buildings designed by architects of Catalan Modernisme, have just been restored, including the Hospital of Sant Pau, making the further urban connections to Sagrada Familia and Ildefons Cerda’s city grid of 1850 explicit.

14-17 April 2016. AIA Europe. Barcelona – The Compact City. International Conference and Chapter Meeting.
