On the occasion of Barcelona’s designation as World Capital of Architecture, the Sagrada Família will host a conference bringing together four internationally renowned figures in the field of architecture, all recipients of the Pritzker Prize.

• Ramon Vilalta, founder of RCR Arquitectes

• Carme Pigem i Barceló, founder of RCR Arquitectes

• Rafael Aranda i Quiles, founder of RCR Arquitectes

• Kazuyo Sejima, Japanese architect and Pritzker Prize laureate

The event will open with an introduction by Dr Jordi Faulí, Chief Architect of the Basilica, and aims to become a space for reflection on the dialogue between heritage and contemporary architecture. The presence of internationally acclaimed architects in such an emblematic building as the Sagrada Família highlights architecture as a form of cultural expression and as a tool for social transformation.
