Intro

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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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.

Memory

Sóc creativa.
La meva pràctica es compromet amb una arquitectura detallada i personalitzada amb l’objectiu de millorar la qualitat de vida de les persones i del meu l’entorn. Faig projectes que van de petita a gran escala creant projectes per viure, treballar i aprendre. Crec absolutament en què no hi ha fronteres entre arquitectura, paisatge, interiorisme i disseny industrial.

Em llicencio a l’Escola Superior d’Arquitectura del Vallès al 2005 amb Matrícula d’Honor completant la meva formació a l’École d’Architecture Paris-la Villette i fundo el meu propi estudi al 2008. Col·laboro amb Yaiza Terré en alguns projectes del 2008-2011.

Entre els anys 2000-2008 em vaig formar en varis estudis d’arquitectura, urbanisme i paisatge: Enric Massip-Bosch (Barcelona), Ateliers Jean Nouvel (París), Jornet-Llop-Pastor (Barcelona) i BatlleiRoig Arquitectes (Barcelona).

Gaudeixo especialment amb els processos creatius del disseny i de la construcció. Intento trobar l’estratègia òptima per cada espai per aconseguir el millor resultat. Treballo per la simplicitat, l’atemporalitat i l’honestedat dels materials.

Alguns projectes de l’estudi han estat premiats. Hangar ha rebut el premi de millor obra construïda als premis AJAC VIII, “Stalker” una menció al concurs de les “Portes de Collserola” i Atlantis Gastro Bar resta finalista dels premis FAD d’Interiorisme al 2019.

La col·laboració entre Arantxa Manrique i Yaiza Terré neix oficialment el 22 de juliol del 2008 amb el 1º premi del concurs de Fàbriques de la Creació per l’ampliació d’Hangar a Can Ricart_PobleNou convocat per l’Ajuntament de Barcelona i dirigit a joves arquitectes i finalitza l’any 2011 amb el final de les mateixes obres.

    Extension of the Hangar Artistic Creation Centre at Can Ricart

    The beauty of something unfinished, intervening without destroying, valuing the character of the space and at the same time reinterpreting it, rehabilitating it while being respectful of history and thinking of new uses, recognising the scars of the site as a key imprint of its personality...That's what this project is about. The Hangar project is located within the "Factories of Creation" program. It is about adapting the existing buildings with the minimum intervention and the minimum possible economic cost. Hangar is a Centre for Visual Artists located in an old warehouse within the Can Ricart factory complex since 1997. The intervention is carried out respectfully, recognising the character and physical qualities of the existing space, reinterpreting it but not transforming it; maintaining the scars that show the transformations suffered over time and adding those that will arise from it. Strategically, a common element is introduced in all the industrial units, "the module", exempt, which opposes old and new.
