Workshops, reflection and debate on one of the most popular autonomous activities, especially among older people in contemporary cities: watching buildings being built. Through two collective research sessions on construction in Barcelona and a final day of feedback and public conversation, we will think about a phenomenon that has no formal theory within the discipline despite having a direct relationship with architecture and with the popular practices that architecture generates in its surroundings.
