Four architects talk about the opportunities that arise from failure

We all make mistakes, and we shouldn’t be ashamed of them. Very often, making a mistake means someone dared to do something different, to step off the beaten path, rather than blindly repeating a worn-out formula that no longer poses any challenge.

We live in a time of climate and housing emergency. Faced with this reality, architects have both the responsibility —and the opportunity— to explore new ways of designing architecture and planning our territory. We cannot continue doing things the way we’ve always done them, without questioning the solutions we once took for granted. It’s time to try new paths and, in doing so, we will inevitably make mistakes. Let’s welcome those mistakes — because there is so much we can learn from them!

Let’s talk about our mistakes, and dare to share what we’ve tried — even if it didn’t quite work out. We shouldn’t remain silent just because an innovative idea didn’t succeed.

This is not the time for personal vanity, for showing off certainties or celebrating easy successes. It is time to share doubts, questions, uncertainties and failures.

Today, in the company of four brave architects, we will celebrate their mistakes. And with courage, rigour, and good humour, proud to learn together, we will award —by popular vote— the 2025 ARCHITECTURAL MISTAKE CUP.

With: David Juárez, Daria de Seta, Clàudia Sanmartí i Marc Aureli Santos.
