Parallel event

This year we are excited to host the exhibition of Visual Stories that were distinguished from 12 Open House events in Europe in 2023! The exhibition is the result of the Open Call, with the theme ‘Building Futures Together’, which took place as part of the Open House Europe cooperation project and involved the Open House events of the following cities: Athens, Bilbao, Brno, Dublin, Essen, Lisbon, Milan, Slovenia, Stockholm, Tallinn, Thessaloniki, and Vilnius. The aim of the Open Call was to highlight sustainability issues in relation to architecture, inviting visitors of the above events to express their stories in any medium they feel comfortable with: sketches, photos, videos, etc. The exhibition was inaugurated in Lisbon in December 2023, traveled to various European Open House events, and concludes its journey with its final stop in Thessaloniki.

“Every year, Open House invites people to discover architecture made with care and attention. Hundreds of stories get told about the way these places were built and the people who live inside them. At first glance, that might look like a simple act of hospitality but when the doors of the architecture that defines our cities open, these stories welcome us all to get to know the built environment we share as citizens better.” Martynas Germanavičius, Lead of Open House Europe

The opening will take place on November 15th.
