Titled Barcelona, diversity, intensity, complexity, the show is a key part of the World Capital of Architecture events for 2026. Curated by experts including Francesc Muñoz and Andreu Domingo, it uses data to debunk myths about migration, showing that Barcelona has been shaped by newcomers since the 19th century.
“"The city is the best invention in the world; it concentrates problems but makes us better people."
The exhibition highlights the city's massive daily flow, with 2.6 million people moving through its streets. It also compares different urban fabrics, advocating for the 'compact city' model found in districts like Eixample, which fosters social proximity despite the challenges of limited green space.
