Talk: My Best Mistake

David Juárez (Straddle3), together with other three architects gather at Sala Beckett to talk not about success, but about failure. Instead of showcasing triumphs, this event focuses on missteps as a crucial part of the creative and professional journey. An open invitation to reflect, learn — and laugh — about what didn’t go as planned.

In a moment of climate emergency and housing crisis, traditional architectural and urban practices fall short. We must take risks, explore new paths — and that means making mistakes.

El meu millor error offers a space for honesty and courage: a chance to share failures as valuable sources of learning. In this open conversation, four architects —David Juárez, Daria de Seta, Clàudia Sanmartí, and Marc Aureli Santos— recount projects that failed, decisions they regret, or unexpected results that reshaped their work.

Because in architecture (and in life), failure is often the only way forward. The evening will close with the public awarding the Best Architectural Mistake Cup 2025, in celebration of taking risks — even when they don’t work out.
