A ballet of construction machinery. The highlight of the inauguration of the 2026 Barcelona World Architecture Congress at the Tres Xemeneies del Besòs was a choreography performed with six cranes, the work of the company Cabosanroque and the Cube.bz studio. For half an hour, the six crane operators joined forces to uncork a bottle of cava with one of the cranes and serve a glass to the president of the International Union of Architects (UIA), Regina Gonthier, who with the corresponding toast closed the inauguration of the congress, which is being held until Thursday, July 2.
