Barcelona Guest City Program at the Beijing Design Week (2014)

  • Iris Mir

I was the Beijing-based project manager of the Barcelona Guest city program at the Beijing Design Week 2014. I coordinated the team based in Barcelona and their program with the Beijing Design Week's stakeholders in Beijing. Barcelona is known for its singular modernist architecture, but also for its pioneering urban planning and award winning architecture and interior design. Design is present in all fields of creativity, from its vibrant and creative graphic and industrial designers to its worldly renowned architects. The Guest City Program of Barcelona at Beijing Design Week was an initiative of the Institut Ramon Llull. The aim of this program was to bring the finest of Barcelona's design and creativity to Beijing to build a bridge of knowledge, exchange and collaboration between the two cities.

The Beijing Design Week is an annual event, taking place in the fall in Beijing. First launched as a pilot effort in 2009, it has quickly become the leading international platform for design in China. In 2012, UNESCO named Beijing an “international design capital, recognizing the city’s effort to foster innovation and be a leading smart city in China. The purpose of Beijing Design Week is to raise public design awareness as well as to help develop stronger design infrastructure in Beijing. BJDW is an initiative of the Ministry of Education of the PRC, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC, the Ministry of Culture of the PRC, and the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality. The event comprehends a massive program with pop up events and exhibitions across the city.
