The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia is delighted to be a partner of ReCITYing, a project co-founded by Creative Europe Programme of European Union with the aim to promote the regeneration of unused, closed or private urban spaces and buildings into artistic laboratories open to the city and cultural incubators.
