Gaudí’s Method Special Edition

Gaudi World Congress is coming on the 23-24th of November 2023 to Seoul, South Korea

The Gaudi World Congress will unfold from November 23-24, 2023, seeking to explore Gaudi’s design methods and techniques, in order to collectively design a better future

Guided by Gaudí's humanistic, sustainable, and naturalistic philosophy, our mission transcends mere commemoration; it embodies the ambition to shape the future by cherishing the wisdom of the past and innovating in the present.

During this vibrant event, we unite these two cities in a shared vision of creativity and sustainability, seeking to inspire a brighter tomorrow. Join us in honoring our shared heritage and embracing a future filled with collaboration, inspiration, and transformation.
