The Festival des Architectures Vives (FAV) showcases the work of talented young architects, landscape architects, urban planners, designers, and artists. 

For many, the festival represents their first opportunity to showcase their creations to the outside world.

The 19th edition of the Festival des Architectures Vives will be held from June 10 to 15, 2025 in the heart of the city of Montpellier, in the Ecusson district and, more specifically, in the inner courtyards of certain private mansions, offering visitors a journey of architectural discovery.

The 2025 theme of the festival is "La Gourmandise" and for the new edition, the Champ Libre association invites architects, urban planners, and landscape architects to explore the link between Architecture and Gourmandise by taking over the courtyards of Montpellier's private mansions once again this year, with installations that offer a special kind of experimentation and provoke genuine moments of pleasure.

Over the course of a week, the public discovers these innovative projects while exploring the city’s historic heritage. The festival creates a dialogue between contemporary architecture and historical heritage, encouraging reflection on the evolution of architecture in an existing urban context.
