«Practical guide to destroy the city» are two hours of your life invested in understanding why it is necessary to “destroy” or deconstruct the Valencia that we know and the historical and aesthetic perception that we have of its monuments and public spaces. A day that will focus on the need to evolve and adapt the city to the new lifestyle of its inhabitants, through a more inclusive, social, feminist, experimental and flexible architecture and design. And all this, without losing its own identity.
Three talks. Five speakers. And a journalist in charge.
Do you need prior knowledge? No.
Does Valencia have to interest you? Yes.
Will you enjoy? We hope a lot.
