You get the first chance ever, to go for a walk in two related buildings simultaneously! Two guides are giving a comparative tour through the Cultural Center Caixa Forum Barcelona and the Werkraum Warteck PP in Basel.
They take advantage of the opportunity to be in conversation about the beautiful spaces they move through. You will discover many different strategies of transforming industrial brick buildings into spaces for culture and arts.
