Der UIA World Congress of Architects, der 2026 in Barcelona stattfindet, ist eine der grössten Veranstaltungen im Bereich der Architektur. Architektinnen und Architekten, Forschende, Studierende und Institutionen aus aller Welt kommen zusammen, um über die drei Tage des Kongresses an Vorträgen, Gesprächen, Workshops und Forschungspräsentationen teilzunehmen. Die Veranstaltungen werden zusammen mit öffentlichen Feierlichkeiten in der ganzen Stadt durchgeführt – von der ikonischen Turbinenhalle »Three Chimneys« bis hin zu bedeutenden öffentlichen Eventstandorten. Der internationale Kongress fördert den Dialog, die Reflexion und die Zusammenarbeit, um gemeinsame Visionen für die Zukunft der Architektur zu entwerfen.

Der Kongress wurde von der International Union of Architects (UIA) einberufen und vom Higher Council of the Orders of Architects of Spain (CSCAE) und der Architects’ Association of Catalonia (COAC) organisiert. Zur gleichen Zeit ist Barcelona die 2026 World Capital of Architecture.
