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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Chronology

  1. Joan del Moral Sports Pavilion

    Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), Carlos Llinàs Carmona

    Joan del Moral Sports Pavilion

    The building has been built on a site classified as equipment by the General Metropolitan Plan located at the intersection of Washington and Cristòfor Colom Streets, in a low-density residential area. The land has an average longitudinal slope of 14% and borders on the north side with a future linear park area that joins Santa Eulàlia Street and Nord Street. On the west side it borders the wall that closes an isolated single-family building. Taking into account the urban situation and the conditions of the site, both in terms of dimensions and topography, an attempt has been made to place the pavilion at a level that would allow access on foot through the lowest level of the site and that, at the same time, it ensured that the emerging volume above the surrounding streets maintained a similarity with the neighbouring buildings, generally low and two-storey. This approach increases the excavation that must be carried out but minimises the impact of the building on the nearby urban environment. Access is through the southwest corner, where Washington and Cristòfor Colom streets meet - it is configured through a small double-height arcade, protected by the roof, and allows passage at street level, which is the same as the lobby and sports court. From this lobby, the circulation of spectators and athletes is distributed separately to the stands and the locker room areas. The services for the public, the concierge, the referees' changing rooms, as well as a warehouse and a facilities room are located on this floor. On the first floor there are four collective changing rooms, and one of them is adapted with access from a passageway in which the lockers are located and which has an exit to the exterior passage that separates the building from the neighbouring construction. This floor is also accessible to spectators by means of a staircase that connects with a balcony located above the track, which at the same time has the function of maintaining and collecting the retractable stands on the ground floor. The track and grandstand area are located on the ground floor, with a roof with three skylights facing north coinciding with the position of the structure's trusses. Side openings protected with wooden slats have also been provided. It should be noted that the pavilion has been located leaving a separation strip with both the neighbouring plot and the future linear park, which will open on the north side of the site. These exterior steps are accessible only for maintenance and as emergency exits. An access has also been opened for track maintenance on Washington Street, at the point where it coincides with the street level, equipped with the corresponding entrance.
  2. Multipurpose Hall

    Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), Carlos Llinàs Carmona

    Multipurpose Hall

    This project responds to the need of the Pallejà City Council to have a room that meets the conditions for the realisation of cultural or recreational events with the possibility of flexibly adapting to various requirements of use and space. The building has been erected on a plot bounded by Sant Isidre, Pintor Fortuny, Velázquez and Nostra Senyora de Loreto Streets: the latter is an important axis that acts as a link between the new facility, the Molinada Park, the sports centre and the city centre. In this context, it was proposed to arrange the construction in such a way that it formed a public square with a façade and access to the street. It has been located parallel to the street so that the square is closed with the services building, bar and access, with the possibility of making their uses independent. In addition, an underground car park for 100 spaces has been planned, which can be accessed from the lowest level of the plot, on Sant Isidre Street. The enclosure of the room can be compartmentalised with movable partitions or suspended from the armatures, while the enclosure facing the square, glass for the most part, forms a longitudinal gallery that tries to facilitate circulation between the interior and the square and provide transparency from it towards the room. This gallery can also function as a distribution element towards the different rooms if several events take place simultaneously. Inside, movable curtains have been placed along the gallery to be able to darken or to optionally close some of the rooms. A set of retractable stands has been arranged which can also be moved in the longitudinal direction of the room to store them in the final part. The total capacity of the largest room is 798 seats, of which 304 correspond to the bleachers. The equipment has air conditioning given the functional characteristics of the room and the high number of people it can accommodate. The service building that includes the bar, with its own access, can function independently and has storage and a small kitchen. A concierge or locker space has also been included which complements the spaces intended for the management or administration of the room, located at the north end of it. The structure has been made with reinforced concrete pillars in the basement and a metal structure on the ground floor, with armor to cover the 18 metres that the room roughly measures in a transverse direction. The exterior coverings are mostly made of cement board and natural fibers: they form a ventilated façade, with solar protections made with the same material on the west façade. The interior coverings, in addition to the paneling, explain, both on the ceiling and on the walls, the existence of materials with sound-absorbing characteristics. The floor used is continuous terrazzo in the room, with aluminum joint and wooden platform in the access gallery and the bar.
  3. Can Roig i Torres Auditorium

    Carlos Llinàs Carmona

    Can Roig i Torres Auditorium

    Multipurpose building that is semi-underground and gradually adapts to the unevenness of the land between Rafael de Casanova Street and Can Roig i Torres. A series of ramps and stairs connect the different spaces. From Rafael de Casanova Street, an iron and wooden fence separates us from the outer lobby of the Auditorium, defined between the neighbouring party walls. The façade combines white Naturvex cladding with large, glazed openings with dark aluminum joinery. The flat roof is accessible to people. A floating concrete slab decouples the roof from the pavement preventing external vibrations and noise from affecting the interior. Despite being concrete slabs, the exterior has been treated with honey pine wood and natural vegetation to create a warmer atmosphere. The building also houses the Can Roig music school.
