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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

    Antoni Blázquez i Boya, Lluís Guanter i Feixas, Pere Solà i Busquets

    Pont de Sant Feliu

    Coincidint amb una reforma de l’accés nord de la ciutat i amb el reflux de la claudicació local pel traçat muntanyós de la carretera general, l’Estat central acceptà de sufragar un pont de vianants que vincula aquella entrada amb la ciutat vella i que ofereix pas franc a la solemne vertical del campanar de Sant Feliu. S’hi adopta el material ferri del pont ferroviari proper i —malgrat ser una biga i no un arc— es busca de reproduir-hi la morbidesa sensual del pont de formigó del 1916. L’òxid i la fusta són elements recurrents en la inserció de la tècnica actual als paisatges arcaics. Ni la posició del pont ni l’obertura de la perspectiva de Sant Feliu són les del Pla del 1983.
  2. Pla Especial del Parc Científic i Tecnològic de la UdG

    Camil Cofan i Amiel, Clara Jiménez i Xiberta, Pere Solà i Busquets

    Complex en creixement, nascut de l’impuls de la jove (1992) Universitat per tal de crear un àmbit d’intercanvi entre la recerca universitària i les activitats d’innovació i de coneixement del món industrial. En un model que defuig tant el simple polígon industrial selecte com un hàbitat només universitari, la Fundació (2002) que el regeix integra institucions públiques i, alhora, grups empresarials i canalitza inversions d’origen tant local com europeu. El planejament racta 20 ha d’una petita vall, fins aleshores preservada del creixement planificat. Assigna 7,3 ha al Parc, ordena les peces marginals preexistents i dedica la resta a sistema viari i entorn del riu Onyar. Tot separant-se de l’amenaça fluvial, i travessat per eixos viaris principals, no aconsegueix un recinte unitari; les peces principals es delineen com a bancals ortogonals al vial que s’enfilen gradualment al turó. Algunes peces en curs volen atendre la tecnologia d’aliments (CENTA, 2.000 m2), el turisme i la producció d’imatge (Monturiol, 9.000 m2) i la recerca sobre l’aigua (ICRA, 5.000 m2), amb un petit centre de robòtica submarina.
