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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

    El Guinardó Market Facilities

    The Guinardó Market facilities project is a joint urban and architectural operation that allows a new central area to be created in the Guinardó district. The proposal arises from the public space, articulating three very different spaces: the new square, the Teodor Llorente park and the inner garden. The volume and the façades arise from the limits of these spaces, a building that articulates 20,000 m2 of equipment distributed in 6 different programs: medical centre, residence, Youth Market, commercial area and parking. This disposition of the free space, extended by all the area, makes it permeable and contributes the necessary urban continuity between the weaves of houses that surround it. The volume is fragmented and adapted to the existing topography, completing and integrating into the fabric and scale of the neighbourhood. The result prioritises the city, the urban continuity, with a common language as a whole over the architectural uniqueness of each facility.

  3. Trinitat Nova Civic Centre

    Trinitat Nova Civic Centre

    The building emerges from the urbanisation of the environment, takes advantage of the topography and becomes an extension of the public space, transforming the outdoor space into a social and affective backbone of the whole, which provides activity and people. The interior and exterior are intertwined, creating two new squares, taking advantage of the unevenness of the terrain. The result is a building that dilutes the line between the inside and the outside. The compactness of the volume allows to establish punctual accesses easily controllable. The upper square / roof acts as a viewpoint platform towards Collserola and the Casa de les Aigües. Respect for the environment translates into the use of the same ceramic material by merging the urbanisation space with the building itself. Ceramic benches and railings form the perimeter and act as skylights for light entering the interior. The building, with an energy rating of A, minimises energy demand through passive design tools and the use of efficient and renewable energy sources.
