The  Barcelona Architecture Center, BAC, is an educational organization that was founded in 1999 and is currently chaired by Miguel Roldán. The center offers custom designed architecture and urban design programs in Barcelona to international architecture students and schools.

The BAC was created with the aim of developing academic and research collaborations with other universities and higher education institutions across the globe.  We are continually building an international network between universities to develop common architectural research projects. This network includes new partners every year from a variety of geographical areas, as we are especially interested in focusing on local and global points of view.

The BAC philosophy is to immerse students in the local and European architecture and urban design culture through a variety of experiences. With this aim, we offer several types of courses organized into three main categories: ‘on-campus’ academic courses, field studies courses and professional internship courses.

The BAC has reached a number of over 1,500 students since its foundation.
