Concéntrico
Architecture & Design Festival
Concéntrico is the International Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño that annually proposes to reflect on the urban environment and the city. The Festival invites visitors to explore the city through installations, exhibitions, meetings and activities that propose new collective uses, strengthening the idea of community in the public space.
Since 2015, the eight editions of the festival have brought together more than 100 urban interventions created by teams of national and international architects and designers who experiment with new fields of environmental design. In this way, a dialogue is established between the city, heritage and contemporary architecture that activates the reflection of citizens on these spaces.
The festival is organised by the Cultural Foundation of the Architects of La Rioja together with Javier Peña Ibáñez, promoter of the initiative, in collaboration with Logroño City Council, the Government of La Rioja, Garnica and Bodegas LAN, and has the support of more than 30 local, regional, national and international institutions, entities and companies.
