On 9–10 January 2026, Open House Europe will come together for its third Annual Summit, hosted by Open House Greece, organisers of festivals in Athens and Thessaloniki, in collaboration with AFRONT, organisers of Open House Slovenia. Held in Athens, the Summit will once again gather festival organisers, architecture professionals, students, enthusiasts, and partners from across the continent and beyond for shared reflection, exchange, and dialogue.

At the heart of this year’s public programme is Future Heritage, the theme guiding the 2025 season of Open House Europe. The Summit will explore how the ideas, spaces, and practices we shape today may become the legacy of tomorrow, and how architecture can help us imagine a more inclusive, resilient, and interconnected European future. What stories do we choose to carry forward? How do we balance preservation and innovation? And in what ways can collective engagement influence the spaces we inherit?

Across a series of panel discussions, the programme will look at heritage as a resource for contemporary architectural practice, examine the values and conditions shaping the future of architecture in Europe, and reflect on the potential of the Open House model itself. Together, these conversations invite participants to rethink the relationship between past, present, and future and to consider how public engagement with architecture can support long-term cultural and spatial transformation.

More information about the programme and speakers will come soon.

Save the date, and join the conversation in Athens!
