Eina will take part in the exhibition In the Making, which will be held from 26 June to 15 July 2026 at La Capella del MACBA. The exhibition brings together projects from nine universities across the country in a collective mapping that highlights the role of schools as spaces for research, experimentation and critical reflection on the social, urban and ecological challenges at the heart of the UIA 2026 Congress.
Eina will participate with projects from the Bachelor in Design, the Master’s Degree in Spatial Design (MUDE), the Postgraduate Diploma in Garden Design and Art, and the european project . This selection showcases the research and experimentation carried out around new ways of inhabiting space, landscape and the transformation of contemporary environments.
List of exhibited projects:
DES·EDIFICAR. Itineraries and Encounters in a Vertical Urban Park, by Irene Terrón Pérez, developed within the Bachelor in Design, transforms the Estel Building into a vertical urban park that reuses the existing structure to create a green, accessible and sustainable ecosystem, proposing a new urban model that is more liveable and replicable.
NÒMADA, by Txell Prims Vinyallonga, developed within the Bachelor in Design, proposes a portable and modular office adapted to new working dynamics, enabling people to work from any environment with autonomy, flexibility and a more sustainable relationship with public space and the city.
Paisajes escalonados, by Natalie Giles Resnik, developed within the Postgraduate Diploma in Garden Design and Art, transforms the gardens of Thau School into a pedagogical and sustainable landscape that promotes biodiversity, efficient water management and the connection between nature, education and community.
Diseño y aplicación en arquetipos de vivienda adaptables a las necesidades de la comunidad Wayuu, by María Dayana Montes Peña, developed within the University Master’s Degree in Design of Spaces (MUDE), proposes flexible housing for the Wayuu community that integrates cultural identity, sustainability and adaptability, promoting comfort, self-sufficiency and territorial justice.
European project Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse (SIT-PLU)
Within the framework of the European project Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse (SIT-PLU), several research lines are being developed to explore how art, design, and culture can contribute to addressing socio-ecological challenges from situated and pluriversal perspectives.
At In the Making, we present two research projects developed within this framework: Serps d’Aigua a Sarrià. Les rieres ocultes de Barcelona (Water Snakes in Sarrià. Barcelona’s Hidden Streams), developed by Sitesize as part of the Water Eina Public Sphere / SIT-PLU EINA research line; and (ε r), by Lara García Díaz, María García Ruiz, and Francesc Soria, developed within the seminar Raising the Ground (Aixecar el Sòl).
