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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Plaça del Riu Sec and La Farigola Walkway
Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), Montserrat Periel i Piquer, Manuel Reventós i Rovira
Between the Riu Sec and the railway tracks, on a previously confined asbestos-contaminated subsoil and an environment characterised by different topographic levels, there is the area where the new sports and school area will be developed in the Farigola district. Plaça del Riu Sec and the Farigola footbridge provide for the improvement of connectivity between areas and will be used as an access hall to future facilities. The square is made up of three paved strips that fold to access the lift, structuring the space. They are separated by interstitial areas, with slopes of green areas, living areas and children's games, which resolve the difference in levels to bring us closer to the residential district. The footbridge, a structure with two drawer beams, specifically solves the meeting with the extremes: in the square, a platform is both a viewpoint and access to the elevator and the staircase, and in the neighbourhood, it crosses over F. Puig Street and the tracks to look for the level of the Barcelona road. -
