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.
