Dive into the most cutting-edge route of the festival, where six design studios reinterpret the symbols and values of the city through their own languages.
Walk through the streets of the city centre or Plaça de les Glòries and discover how light becomes art, identity and emotion. These are routes that transform the streets of Barcelona into settings of light and identity.
Each of the works has been selected through an ideas competition launched by Barcelona City Council with the collaboration of ADI-FAD, which promotes the participation of professional studios and up-and-coming creators.
