Connecting over a dozen Open House festival organisers across the continent, each year Open House Europe selects an Annual Theme to highlight challenges faced by our society. The 2025 Open House Europe programme will bring the Future Heritage theme to life by examining how architecture connects the past, present, and future of cities.

The theme prompts reflection on how we define, protect, and reinterpret heritage in a rapidly changing world. From historic landmarks to contemporary transformations, the theme encourages us to explore which buildings, practices, and ideas we want to pass on to future generations.

The three-year project will focus each year on a new direction: sustainability, accessibility and inclusion, and future heritage. These thematic axes will allow Open House Europe to shape the agenda for a debate about contemporary and heritage architecture, its values and quality.
