What it is
«Javier Goerlich. Arquitectura y urbanismo en Valencia (1914-1962)» is a cultural event on 26 November 2026 at the Museu de Ceràmica, on Poeta Querol street, dedicated to the career of one of the architects who most influenced Valencia in the 20th century. The period covered, from 1914 to 1962, spans nearly half a century of projects and urban interventions in the city.
The Museu Nacional de Ceràmica i Arts Suntuàries has already scheduled a lecture with this same title as part of its 2026 programme, and the Fundación Goerlich has promoted a touring exhibition of the same name across various venues in Valencia.
Who was Javier Goerlich
Francisco Javier Goerlich Lleó (Valencia, 1886-1972) is regarded as one of the most decisive architects in shaping the identity of Valencia. His work, focused on the decades highlighted in the title, combined architecture with urbanism, which is why this event explores both aspects.
According to the Fundación Goerlich, a previous lecture on his life and work attracted nearly a hundred attendees, reflecting the strong interest in his legacy among Valencia’s architecture and urban history enthusiasts.
