Coinciding with Barcelona’s designation as World Capital of Architecture and the International Union of Architects Congress, in 2026 we will celebrate the 1st Facility Management Barcelona Congress 2026 on 25, 26 and 27 November. The event is being jointly coordinated by the Catalan Facility Management Association, Barcelona City Council, the COAC (Official Association of Architects of Catalonia) and the Government of Catalonia.
Facility Management (FM) is the discipline responsible for managing built environments and their support services throughout their entire life cycle. There is still considerable room for development in the application of Facility Management to housing, as its management throughout the life cycle is often excessively fragmented. For this reason, on 21 October, at the COAC’s Mirador Hall, we will hold a debate session to explore this area of Facility Management. Limited capacity.
