ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL "Npatak"

NPATAK ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL

The ticket includes entry to all days

From September 9 to 14, the third edition of the NPAṪAK International Architecture Festival will take place in Yerevan. It will bring to Armenia the founders of more than 20 world-renowned architectural studios from 7 countries.

By its format and international scope, it is the first of its kind in the region and generates great interest both in neighboring countries and within the global architectural community. The festival, engaging hundreds of participants, creates an opportunity for a live dialogue between international studios and Armenia’s architectural community. The best testament to the success of the festival is the unprecedented interest and active participation of the international architectural community, once again confirming that it has secured a stable place on the global agenda and has the great potential to become one of the most important professional events in the region.

This year lectures and discussions will be presented by: OFFICE KGDVS (Brussels, Belgium), Neri&Hu (Shanghai, China), Studio Muoto (Paris, France), NOMOS (Geneva, Switzerland / Lisbon, Portugal / Madrid, Spain), DF_DC (London, UK), Förstberg Ling (Malmö, Sweden), Anna & Eugeni Bach (Barcelona, Spain), PIOVENEFABI (Milan, Italy / Brussels, Belgium), Langarita Navarro Architects (Madrid, Spain) and DRDH (London, UK).

Festival events will take place at the National Chamber Music Center, Arno Babajanyan Concert Hall, Woods Center, the Library for Architecture (LFA), and other venues. On Friday, we will gather at “Varpet” for an informal evening of conversation and celebration.
