Future Architecture Platform

Project title

Future Architecture Platform

Description of initiative

Future Architecture is the first pan-European platform of architecture museums, festivals and producers, bringing ideas on the future of cities and architecture closer to the wider public. The aim of the platform was to identify and explore new models of creative work that could provide future generations in Europe with a more stable perspective, thus contributing to a more harmonious development of the European economy, living environment and society as a whole. In the platform’s European Architecture Programme - series of significant and interconnected architectural happenings and events in Europe -, there were also 2 events directly connected to the theme of health and well-being: Tirana Design Week 2021: Health & Wellbeing in the Post-Pandemic City and Urban Talk 1 / Minimal Dwelling – Maximal Wellbeing – Test 2020.

Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt

The Platform has connected emerging talents to high profile institutions, museums, galleries, publishing houses, biennials, and festivals which organized the European Architecture Program of exhibitions, conferences, workshops, publications, prototyping and more.
