"Cruïlla is home": the conceptual framework The core concept of the call is "Cruïlla is home" : the festival understood as a space for coexistence where the community recognizes itself. Proposals should contribute to building this shared space, reinforcing the sense of belonging without resorting to merely decorative or gimmicky solutions. "Scenography is not decoration: it is an infrastructure for habitability." — Conceptual framework of the call Ephemeral architecture as a cultural tool In the contemporary cultural context, festivals have established themselves as spaces for collective experience where music, city, and community intertwine. Ephemeral architecture is proposed here as a tool capable of building shared experiences and activating new forms of relationship between space and the public. Interventions must dialogue with existing structures, the festival's language, and the presence of brands, providing a contemporary architectural vision that understands the stage as something more than just a technical support.
