The 2026 Foros lecture series builds bridges between Architecture students and professional practice
This April, the lecture series “Career Paths in Contemporary Architecture” will bring together architects from renowned studios, who will be on hand to share their professional experience with students
This April, Foros 2026 will kick off under the title “Career paths in contemporary architecture", an initiative by the School of Architecture.
This year, all speakers are alumni of the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture – professionals who once studied in these classrooms and who now pursue their careers across a wide range of fields.
Across four sessions, the programme explores different models of contemporary architectural practice, from international practice to digital entrepreneurship, collaborative working models and the consolidation of studios operating at a local level.
