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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

  3. Església de Mare de Déu de Montserrat

    Joan Bassegoda i Nonell

    L'església de Clariana és un edifici aïllat de planta irregular. Es tracta d'una construcció que combina la utilització de materials actuals, com el formigó armat, amb formes inspirades en vocabularis arquitectònics anteriors, cosa que li dóna una aparença força insòlita. En són elements remarcables, a la part exterior, el cimbori i el campanar, ambdós hexagonals, i a l'interior la utilització d'arcs el·líptics i de voltes hiperbòliques. El temple de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat es va construir en substitució de l'anterior capella de Sant Jaume, destruïda en temps de la guerra civil. L'obra va ser iniciada la'any 1968 gràcies al llegat fet per la senyora Antònia Romeu. El projecte fou realitzat per l'arquitecte Joan Bassegoda i Nonell, i 'obra fou dirigida pel mestre d'obres Domènec Feliu Maymo. Hi van col·laborar en els treballs de deocració Santiago Padrós (mosaic), Tomàs Bel (relleus), i Joaquim Datsira (vidrieres). Segons consta en una incripció, l'església va ser consagrada el 27.5.1973.
