‘Lecture by Lacol arquitectes - EUmies Awards 2022’

Bozar, Creative Europe and Fundació Mies van der Rohe present a lecture by Lacol arquitectura cooperative, winner of the 2022 EU Mies awards and the architects of the La Borda cooperative housing project in Barcelona. The model used in this project and others that they are developing, works through self-promotion, right of use, community life, sustainability and affordability, having a big impact on local policies.

During the lecture, the documentary Built Skin will be screened, presenting the 532 works the Awards jury had in front of them at the start of the process. The film owns its name to a quote by Yvonne Farrell from Grafton architects: "Our skin is the membrane between the universe and ourselves. Architecture is built skin; the physics of culture.” Together with the documentary, the 500-page EU Mies Awards ’22 book will be presented.
