The fourth congress of the Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad has been convened in Baluarte, Pamplona, to address the “Change of Climate” in architecture, a field undergoing a deep transformation as the urgencies posed by climate change call for a rethinking of how to make buildings and cities: architecture changes to change the world.

The first three congresses proposed tools for dealing with our lingering crisis; the fourth endeavors to throw light on the need for change in architectural attitudes if our environment and the lives of people are to improve. To this the event will bring together again world architects and figures of different countries known to combine professional excellence with attention to sustainability and architecture’s social dimension.

The title of this year’s congress refers as much to the change of climate taking place in architecture, which the crisis has put at an economic and ethical crossroads, as to the importance of architecture and planning when facing the challenges posed by climate change, perhaps the most pressing matter of our time.
