Synthesis Week at the 2016 Architecture Congress Between 21 and 25 November, a different session will be held every day to address a theme that groups together a number of interrelated subjects. The content and its grouping will be determined by a participatory process that, during the six months the Architecture Congress lasts, will collect contributions and comments. Round tables and specific debates on each subject will be organised each morning, while the afternoon will feature lectures by internationally renowned architects. In addition to these lectures, the conclusions of the talks that take place during the day will also be presented.
