· 3 pulledA red and white circus tent rises within an open plot in Logroño, its conical roof pulling the eye upward before the city returns around it.
For Concéntrico 2026, Chilean architect Smiljan Radić brings Circo to the Spanish city as a temporary architecture with a long memory, shaped by travel, repair, and the strange intimacy of gathering under fabric.
The installation forms part of the festival's Identity and Fiction program, which looks at the city as a place built through images, rituals, and shared stories.
