The Concéntrico Festival has officially launched its 2025/2026 season, reinforcing its position as a leading Urban Innovation Laboratory dedicated to exploring how architecture, design, and art can transform urban life. The festival, which has been based in Logroño, Spain since its inception in 2015, serves as a collective space for creation and the central meeting point where innovative ideas and collaborations developed throughout each season take concrete form.
This year's program extends far beyond the traditional festival format, encompassing a comprehensive range of activities including open calls for submissions, an academic symposium, specialized publications, permanent installation projects, new international collaborations, and a series of book presentations. These diverse elements work together to consolidate an active global network that connects cities, practices, and disciplines across the architecture and design spectrum.
The expanded program structure demonstrates Concéntrico's evolution from a single annual event into a year-round platform for urban innovation. The open calls provide opportunities for emerging and established architects, designers, and artists to contribute their visions for urban transformation, while the symposium offers a forum for theoretical discourse and knowledge exchange among professionals and academics.
The culmination of the 2025/2026 season will be the twelfth edition of the main Festival in Logroño, scheduled to take place from June 18 to 23, 2026. This milestone edition promises to showcase the results of the year-long collaborative efforts and present the most innovative approaches to urban design and architectural intervention.
Since 2015, the festival has established itself as a significant force in the international architecture and urban planning community, consistently demonstrating how creative interventions can enhance the quality of life in urban environments. The festival's approach combines theoretical exploration with practical application, making it a valuable resource for cities worldwide seeking innovative solutions to contemporary urban challenges.
