Cities Connection Project#7 in Bilbao

Wallonie-Bruxelles Architectures and its international partners will present the latest edition of the Cities Connection Project during the Open House of Bilbao – October 2^nd– October 6^th2024.

This exhibition presents 60 public architecture projects selected from the regions participating in this seventh edition, which links Barcelona with the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Grand-East region of France.

Convinced by the format of the exhibition, our local partner wanted to increase the exhibition by including 5 projects from Bilbao.

This edition takes a look at social responsibility and the reuse of heritage and brings together transitional architecture projects, quality architecture that promotes the reuse of existing spaces, the reuse of materials, sustainable construction systems and materials, energy-efficient new-builds and mixed-use programmes that in some way help to bring activities together without dispersing them, while promoting the well-being of users.

The inaugural conference will take place on October 2, 2024 at 12:30 at the IED Kunsthal in Bilbao. Three architects will speak: one for the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, one for Catalonia and one for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The conference will be moderated by Bilbao architect Ibon Salaberria (Beste arkitektura).

A day of visits will be organized on October 3rd.
