Since the year 2002 both institutions hold every two years a meeting on current topics in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences and to strengthen the cooperation between German and Spanish cultural operators. The 6th Meeting on Culture will deal with new attitudes and ways to understand architecture and the architects working practices, keeping in mind the connection between the Spanish and the German context. The main topics of the meeting are the architects challenges and possibilities in the twentieth century. The increase of migration flows, the economic crisis and demands within the society, climate change, military conflicts and the growth of mega-cities are some of the developments that are encouraging todays architecture to experiment and to think of new possible ways to construct urban space for citizens.
