The conference will take place in València, Spain, a vibrant Mediterranean city where a rich historical and artistic heritage meets striking contemporary architecture. Visitors can explore everything from medieval landmarks and lively traditional neighbourhoods to iconic buildings designed by internationally renowned architects such as Santiago Calatrava, Norman Foster and David Chipperfield.
The conference will be held at the Palacio de la Exposición, an elegant and distinctive venue in the heart of València.
Designed by Valencian architect Francisco Mora Berenguer, the building was constructed in just 70 days to serve as the municipal pavilion for the 1909 Regional Exhibition. It was subsequently used for the 1910 National Exhibition.
Its distinctive modernist design incorporates neo-Gothic influences inspired by València’s medieval architectural heritage. One of its most remarkable features is the harmonious combination of architecture and decorative arts, bringing together ironwork, ceramics, stained glass and woodwork.
Today, the Palacio de la Exposición provides a unique setting for conferences, receptions and special events.
