For the tenth consecutive year, a total of 57 museums and art centers will share, on April 20th, on the occasion of International Book Day, a bookcrossing experience or book release campaign, with the aim of flooding cities with volumes from the duplicate collection of their respective libraries.

All released books will be accredited with their corresponding labels, will contain the necessary instructions to facilitate readers' participation in the campaign, and will be registered on the website http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf, where readers will be able to indicate the place where they will release each copy.

From Tuesday afternoon the 22nd and until supplies run out, each visitor will be able to take a maximum of two books per person free of charge.

The books that will be given away are part of the museum's bibliographic collections and are mainly made up of catalogs from past exhibitions.

On April 21st, coordinated by the Artium in Vitoria, numerous libraries of museums and art and culture centers will share their publications on the occasion of the celebration of International Book Day, and they will do so through the bookcrossing experience or book release campaign.

Each participating center has selected one or several publications that are part of its collection and, with all of them, a video has been prepared that we share in this campaign to promote reading and the dissemination of contemporary culture.

The MACA will also leave a counter full of publications on the ground floor of the museum that visitors can take home.

Happy Book Day.

Since 2015, MACA has proposed meetings in a conversation format, centered on art and architecture. Reflecting again

on the relationships between architecture and art, understanding the process of construction and reconstruction of architecture from a more artistic or philosophical point of view, leads us to delve deeper into this proposal. In the MACA Library, the last Thursdays

of each month, from September 2018 to May 2019. Eva Prats is an Architect from the ETSA of Barcelona and Doctor Architect from RMIT Melbourne. Ricardo Flores is an architect from FADU-UBA, Master's in Urban Planning and Doctor Architect from ETSAB-UPC. Eva and Ricardo founded Flores & Prats in Barcelona in 1998, a studio dedicated to the confrontation of theory and academic practice with design and constructive activity.

They have worked on rehabilitation projects of disused structures, in the design of urban public spaces with neighborhood participation, and in social housing and its capacity to create community. But the studio has also experimented with the use of films to document projects or edible architecture menus developed for exhibitions of their work in Barcelona, Copenhagen, or Venice.

The work of Flores & Prats has obtained, among other recognitions, the Grand Award in Architecture from the Royal Academy of Arts in London 2009, the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona 2016, the Premi Ciutat de Palma 2017, the AD Architects of the Year Award 2018, and the AR New into Old Award 2019. They have been nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Prize on various occasions and their work has been exhibited in the last four editions of the Venice Architecture Biennial. In addition to their professional practice, Eva and Ricardo are actively involved in the academic world.

They are Professors of Projects at the ETSA of Barcelona, Professors of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT Melbourne, and between 2019 and 2021 visiting professors at ETH Zurich. In the 2022-2023 academic year they will begin as visiting professors at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio. In 2014, the Mexican publisher Arquine published the first monograph on their work, Pensado a mano. La Arquitectura de Flores & Prats, and in 2017 the new magazine Archives dedicated its first issue to the studio's work. In 2020, Arquine and the Barcelona City Council published the monographic book Sala Beckett. International Center for Dramaturgy. In 2021, the Archives Universum magazine dedicated its first issue to the studio's private world and working methods.
