L’Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB) celebra 150 anys d’història, consolidant-se com una institució de referència en la formació d’arquitectes.
Per commemorar aquesta fita, ETSAB Alumni organitza una trobada especial per reunir totes les generacions d’arquitectes que han passat per l’escola. La festa va tenir lloc el 19 de juny de 2025 a l'ETSAB. Els assistents van gaudir d'un entorn perfecte compartint records i construint nous vincles professionals i personals. Un moment per recordar el passat, viure el present i projectar junts el futur de l’arquitectura.

The Crângași Herbarium, a curated collection of drawings, maps, photographs, analyses, texts, and dioramas contained in a small piece of furniture located inside a public library in the Crângași neighbourhood. The herbarium presents a condensed story of the minor history of how residents live in the neighbourhood and the ways in which practices of neighbourliness and conviviality manifest in the spaces of the city. Thus, the herbarium highlights these modes of adaptation and survival in a city dominated by the paradigm of individual actions, privatization and commodification, and top-down strategies often implemented in a heavy-handed manner. The research aimed to identify neighbourhood spaces and active actors that could host and support an intervention with a strong ecological and community-oriented character. The Nichita Stănescu branch of the Bucharest Metropolitan Library, located on Calea Crângași, the neighbourhood’s main thoroughfare, was identified as one of the key community actors capable of supporting the intervention and engaging various library users in caring for a small nearby green space. Due to overlap with a city hall project to redesign the entire boulevard, it was decided to relocate the “intervention” inside the library. Although initially this seemed like a step back for the project, the relocation into the small neighbourhood library turned into an opportunity to highlight and support an important public institution for the local community. Identified during the research as one of the spatial and institutional resources that can help support the emergence of (environmental) commons in the neighbourhood, “our library,” as it is called by some of its users, was considered a suitable place to make visible the informal manifestations found in local public spaces.

During the second half of 2024 and the early months of 2025, the Institute of Architecture Foundation team researched the archival materials, history press materials, and historic iconography, as well as met with still-active authors of the architectural and artistic projects completed in Mistrzejowice District and Złotego Wieku (Golden Age) Estate in particular. The team developed the data to expand the intervention plan, involving the local community and raising awareness of postwar housing and Mistrzejowice District among site residents and Kraków citizens. The final intervention consisted of a conference with Maria Chronowska, who was involved in the design of the neighbourhood together with his husband, Jerzy Chronowska. She was accompanied by Janeuz "Jutrzenka" Trzebiatowski, a painter from Krakow who created part of the furniture for the dwellings with his design studio. In 1974 he designed the monumental enameled decoration “The Phantasmagory of the Wind,” which for several decades decorated a shopping and service pavilion located at the Złotego Wieku (Golden Age) 19-20 Estate. The non-existent decoration was among the largest of this kind in Poland. The journey ended with the showcase of the artistic intervention and installation celebrating the ecodiversity of Mistrzejowice District, organised by Miastopracownia.

On April 5th, the courtyard of Escola Concepción Arenal in the Besòs i Maresme neighbourhood of Barcelona became the heart of a powerful act of collective imagination. Organised by MITO Collective within the framework of the WECARE project (Warding Ecosystem Commons through Action-Research Education, funded by the European Union), PLANTADA brought together neighbours, artists, activists and local entities to construct a living counter-monument—a participatory and symbolic intervention rooted in ecological care, cultural memory and neighbourhood solidarity.
