Construint a la Sala 2007-2026. La mirada dels infants

Exhibition reviewing the work of the association Construint a la Sala, focusing on architecture and education as tools for urban participation, with children’s perspective as its central thread.

The exhibition brings together historical materials from the association Construint a la Sala and the results of the programme developed within the framework of World Capital of Architecture. Visitors can see models, plans, drawings, photographs and audiovisual materials produced by the children themselves, which express how they imagine the city and what proposals they put forward for it.

Oliva Artés. Museu d'Història de Barcelona hosts this exhibition, which also features the participation of the invited international cities. The approach sets up a dialogue between diverse contexts and experiences that share one premise: placing childhood at the centre of urban thinking.

The project starts from the idea that children do not merely observe the city but are an active part of it, helping to build its future with their ideas, questions and proposals. Its route shows how architecture and education can work as tools for urban participation and transformation.
