Located in downtown Madrid,

Metropa aims to enhance

the cultural fabric of the city,

working as a cultural

embassy for architecture, art

& design enthusiasts.

At Metropa, we provide both a virtual and phy-

sical place for an ongoing conversation about

experimental design thinking. We focus on the

potential of new technologies to open up new

and exciting form languages and innovative

solutions in the realms of architecture, art and

design.

Committed to quality & exce-

At The Gallery, we explore the increasingly

blurred boundaries between art, design,

architecture and crafts, presenting both

established and emergent artists & designers

who obsessively test the boundaries of mate-

rials, processes and mediums to create excep-

tional hybrid works.

At The School, you will find a wide range of

specialised courses, conferences and works-

hops that covers the broad spectrum of compu-

ter softwares and state-of-the-art technical

developments that are shaping the future of

the architectural & design practice.

Through The Editorial Programme, we publish

specialised writings, handbooks and the series

ECLECTIC, a publication that gives voice to

architects, designers & artists with a experi-

mental design thinking. In this section, you

will also find a comprehensive selection of the

best architectural publishing houses.
