About
In this first stage, the catalogue focuses on the modern and contemporary architecture designed and built between 1832 –year of construction of the first industrial chimney in Barcelona that we establish as the beginning of modernity– until today.
The project is born to make the architecture more accessible both to professionals and to the citizens through a website that is going to be updated and extended. Contemporary works of greater general interest will be incorporated, always with a necessary historical perspective, while gradually adding works from our past, with the ambitious objective of understanding a greater documented period.
The collection feeds from multiple sources, mainly from the generosity of architectural and photographic studios, as well as the large amount of excellent historical and reference editorial projects, such as architectural guides, magazines, monographs and other publications. It also takes into consideration all the reference sources from the various branches and associated entities with the COAC and other collaborating entities related to the architectural and design fields, in its maximum spectrum.
Special mention should be made of the incorporation of vast documentation from the COAC Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.
The rigour and criteria for selection of the works has been stablished by a Documental Commission, formed by the COAC’s Culture Spokesperson, the director of the COAC Historical Archive, the directors of the COAC Digital Archive, and professionals and other external experts from all the territorial sections that look after to offer a transversal view of the current and past architectural landscape around the territory.
The determination of this project is to become the largest digital collection about Catalan architecture; a key tool of exemplar information and documentation about architecture, which turns into a local and international referent, for the way to explain and show the architectural heritage of a territory.

Sant Joan Despí Funeral Services
Batlle i Roig Arquitectura, MMI Gestió d'Arquitectura i Paisatge, Enric Batlle i Durany, Albert Gil Margalef, Joan Roig i Duran
The proposal for the new funeral parlour of Sant Joan Despí improves the services of the existing cemetery with a new mortuary that complements the current offer of services, dignifying access to the existing cemetery. The new funeral parlour is integrated into the landscape, respecting the nature of the park that the place must have, given its urban situation, preserving and reforesting the existing vegetal slopes around the area of implementation and incorporating part of the volume of the building to the existing topography. The floor of the building, of 700 m2, has two clearly differentiated areas; on the one hand, the public area formed by the set of rooms designed to serve the users of the facility and, on the other hand, the private sphere configured by the service pieces necessary for the preparation of the deceased and the movement of coffins between them. A patio system completes the organisation of the floor plan, organising and providing light to it. -
