Project: Architectural Transculturality
Type: Research and dissemination project
Duration: 2020-
Summary
«Architectural Transculturality» is an ongoing dissemination and research project that aims at generating bridges between Finnish and Spanish architectural contexts and cultures. It entails the diffusion of knowledge by the participation in societal and research events and the preparation of professional and scientific publications. The concept of transculturality entails the set of strategies and processes to interconnect different cultural forms and contexts, whose result is a transformed, crossed reality, in this case between two cultural realities located at opposite ends of the continent of Europe.
