Fundación Arquitectura Contemporánea

The Foundation for Contemporary Architecture was established in 2002 as an initiative of a group of professionals interested in promoting contemporary architecture. The nature of the foundation is, therefore, purely private, although its attitude is one of clear commitment to the public dissemination of an activity which exerts a decisive influence over the living conditions of the population.

The headquarters of the Foundation for Contemporary Architecture is located in Cordoba, a city that has encouraged a remarkable relationship between city and Contemporary Architecture.

However, the activities of the Foundation are in national and international levels, without geographic limitation, and according to the thematic, the aim is to promote the establishment of the broadest posible cultural debate.
