📖 Four itineraries exploring school life

The exhibition invites visitors to discover schools across Barcelona through four distinct routes inspired by the daily routines of the people who use them. Conceived as an immersive experience, the journey begins outside the buildings and moves gradually into interior classrooms and shared areas.

Throughout the visit, key design elements such as furniture, natural lighting, colour palettes, and building facilities are carefully analysed. The exhibition also pays special attention to school playgrounds and outdoor environments, which are essential components of school life and community wellbeing.

🎨 A decade of architectural and pedagogical research

The themes and guidelines presented derive from the new white paper on educational facilities developed by the Consorci d'Educació. The show brings together ten years of dedicated work linking architectural design with evolving pedagogical needs.

✨ A unique look at how architecture and design transform learning spaces across Barcelona.
