WHY OHP26: CITY OF WATER?

The Open House Palma 2026 festival is presented under the theme “City of Water,” establishing this element as the central, unifying thread of its entire program. In this edition, the primary focus is on exploring the profound relationship between architecture, urban design, and water resources.

Here, water is viewed not merely as a supply infrastructure, but as an active agent that shapes the built environment and is fundamental to addressing current sustainability challenges. Through tours, debates, and the opening of various buildings, the festival invites reflection on how the city of Palma has historically coexisted with this resource — and, crucially, what strategies must be implemented to integrate it efficiently in the future.
