Miguel Fisac's Legacy: International Congress in Bologna, 2026

An international congress on architect Miguel Fisac, titled 'Miguel Fisac. Forma, materia y luz: la construcción del espacio sagrado', will be held in Bologna on June 25-26, 2026. The event focuses on Fisac's religious architecture, considered one of the most innovative contributions of 20th-century architecture. It will gather researchers, architects, and specialists from various countries. The opening session will feature the president of the Fundación Miguel Fisac, discussing the architect's transformative capacity. Fisac's work, known for its evolution from neoclassical to flexible concrete and 'hueso' beams, remains influential in cinema, academic research, and contemporary architectural discourse. The congress is organized by the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Granada (ETSAG) and takes place in Bologna, home to Europe's oldest university. The article reflects on artistic permanence, citing Vladimir Nabokov and Shakespeare, and concludes with a quote from critic Alfonso de la Torre: 'todos somos un relato que va más allá de la vida'.
