Living in the future—a concept that sparks debate, giving rise to diverse perspectives and various ways of interpreting it, and not just within the realm of construction.
3 ARCHITECTURE FIRMS A senior architect, he brings a macro (urban) perspective to the concept. “The future already exists—and, in our case, it’s just a three-hour flight away.” The ultimate goal is to create happy cities; by observing one another and learning from different cities, we could potentially achieve this.
Miguel Arenas, arquitecto senior, aporta su visión macro (urbana) del concepto.
«El futuro ya existe y, en nuestro caso, está a 3 horas de avión». El fin último es conseguir ciudades felices, y mirándonos y aprendiendo unos de otros, de unas ciudades y otras, podríamos llegar a conseguirlo.

OHLAB, An architecture studio led by Jaime Oliver and Paloma Hernaiz. They offer their micro-level perspective on the concept of the home of the future.
“Towards a (positive-energy) architecture.” The future calls for an approach to architecture that goes beyond simply not consuming energy—it must instead generate and produce it.

One particular studio—the youngest of the group, based in Barcelona and composed of six women: Lucia, Carlota, Ivet, Clara, Anna, and Marta—presents a performance piece centered on a large scale, offering their own sociological and environmental vision of “living in the future.”
“On the scale, balance.” They use a highly visual approach to highlight the need for equilibrium and to demonstrate how we might redirect the resources we already possess toward the right path.
ALIBAZ also sought to share its own perspective through a compelling audiovisual message, engaging all the guests by providing them with personalized, light-up wristbands that interact with the video as it mentions their gender, origin, and profession.
The takeaway is that we are the future—a future that depends on us, on our actions, and on our dreams—thereby empowering everyone present, one individual at a time.

The catering service CA’N PINTXO, which handled the event, also developed a futuristic menu—their own unique gastronomic vision. The menu consists of a pillbox containing three “pills”:
- Sardines with garlic and parsley
- Smoked pork belly with aged sheep’s milk cheese
- Strawberries and cream
The menu is accompanied by a test tube containing a liquid salad of organic lettuce and tomatoes, complete with a vinaigrette and pearls of extra virgin olive oil.
It is a playful menu that delivers an explosion of flavor—surprising and exquisite in equal measure.
Time is what we lack most, and these offerings satisfy us with nutrients and flavor in a matter of seconds.

Other notable details of the event—which help enhance the overall presentation—include the **Molecular Experience** station, featuring various spherified cocktails.
And a board covered in Post-it notes, where attendees were invited to draw a house. The result is interesting—both for the potential similarities and for the complete contrasts.
Finally, the gift for all guests completes the experience: a box designed to resemble a Lego set, containing 100 white bricks. This invites attendees to engage by creating their own interpretation of the concept “Living in the future”—a hands-on activity that generates valuable post-event feedback.
A unique event, infused with a clear vision and heartfelt care from everyone involved.
THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THIS VERY SPECIAL DAY WITH US
