To mark the commemoration of the Gaudí Year, this year’s Science Week will focus on the life and work of Antoni Gaudí, highlighting his architectural legacy, creativity and the way he integrated nature, art and innovation into his buildings.

As part of the programme, the School of Architecture is organising the round table discussion entitled “Antoni Gaudí’s continuing relevance in contemporary architecture”.
The event aims to create a space for debate and the exchange of knowledge, bring Gaudí’s legacy closer to new generations of architects, and reinforce UIC’s role as a forum for reflection, knowledge sharing and dialogue between architectural heritage and contemporary innovation.
