Casa Batlló in Barcelona hosts a Casa Batlló Dialogues session on 5 November 2026, bringing together creative and curatorial voices to examine how digital tools can reinterpret heritage. The conversation is part of an autumn programme linked to the building’s contemporary art activities.
Casa Batlló Dialogues reaches its final session
The organiser lists the 5 November session as Tomorrow Bureau - Living Archive, with Jack Featherstone and Francesca Gavin. It will take place at Casa Batlló on the third floor, and the programme page lists English as the language of the conversation. The event is part of Casa Batlló Dialogues, a series running from 16 September to 5 November 2026.
The discussion will consider what happens when new technologies meet historical archives. Its themes include artificial intelligence, 3D scanning and other digital methods for opening new ways of interpreting heritage. The creative process behind the Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed exhibition provides the starting point for the exchange. The 5 November programme also identifies the participants and the venue.
The series is organised by Casa Batlló Contemporary with Galeria Mayoral, Fundació Joan Miró and MIRA Festival. The Barcelona city listing records the full programme period, while the organiser’s page gives the date, venue, subject and speakers for the closing conversation.
Gaudí’s 1904-1906 remodelling shapes the setting
The discussion takes place inside a building whose architecture is itself part of the heritage question. Josep Batlló acquired the original property in 1903 and hired Antoni Gaudí in 1904. Rather than demolishing the house, Gaudí carried out a complete renovation between 1904 and 1906.
The work transformed the façade, redistributed interior partitions and expanded the central light well. The building uses undulating forms, stone and glass, while the interior courtyard helped distribute light and ventilation. These physical features give the November conversation a direct relationship with the architecture it examines: digital interpretation is being discussed inside a remodelled urban residence that has become a cultural venue.
The official building history records the 1904-1906 renovation and the address at number 43 Passeig de Gràcia. The Barcelona city authority describes the house as the work of Gaudí and records its UNESCO World Heritage status.
November dialogue connects the exhibition and the house
The linked exhibition, Gaudí-Miró-Gomis: Deconstructed, brings original works by Antoni Gaudí, Joan Miró and Francesc Gomis into dialogue with digital installations. It is presented by Casa Batlló Contemporary on the building’s second floor and runs from 8 July 2026 to 10 January 2027.
The final dialogue therefore sits between two layers of the site. Visitors encounter a historic Modernist building associated with Gaudí, while the programme considers archives, scanning and artificial intelligence as tools for creating new interpretations. That connection is specific to the November event and to the exhibition occupying the contemporary art space.
Casa Batlló became part of the Works of Antoni Gaudí UNESCO World Heritage property in 2005. UNESCO describes the wider property as a group of seven buildings in and around Barcelona that demonstrate Gaudí’s contribution to architecture and construction technology.
