Place: Medialab-Prado. Plaza de las Letras, C/ Alameda, 15 · Madrid
From 17:00h to 19:00h: Expectations Café: presentation of general goals of the group Arquitecturas de la cultura del mañana-mañana, and presentation of participants' expectations.
At 19:00h: Talk by Francisco Jarauta and debate.
Francisco Jarauta’s presentation will be based on his text Construir la ciudad genérica (Building generic cities), in which he notes that architecture, no longer a self-referential debate, should respond to new political, social and cultural contexts and to the changes brought about by world population growth, migratory flows, or large urban concentrations. The session offers a debate on the function of culture and cultural centres in the configuration of new generic and complex cities.
