Concéntrico × BASE

This double book presentation brings together two independent platforms that explore the intersection between architecture, design, and collective culture: Concéntrico, the International Festival of Architecture and Design in Spain, and BASE Milano, a center for cultural innovation in Milan. The event celebrates the publication of Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory (Park Books, 2025), which revisits ten years of experimental urban interventions that have transformed the city of Logroño into a laboratory for contemporary city-making, and Performing Architecture, a book that investigates how performative practices can expand the role of design in public space. Both initiatives have shared a common programme in 2025, fostering exchanges between Milan and Logroño through temporary architectures and public events.

Speakers Javier Peña Ibáñez, Concéntrico Elisa Ferrari, BASE Milano With Sara Ricciardi, Giovanni Piovene and Studiolatte (Isabella Del Grandi and Matteo Andrenelli) Lorenzo Perri, (Lemonot)
