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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Bloc d'Habitatges Incosa Pau Casals
Teresa Batlle Pagés, Felip Pich-Aguilera i Baurier, Josep Maria Salarich i Molist, Andreu Solano i Noguera
Al trapezi de les antigues hortes del desviat riu Güell es va cosir (1989-95) la Devesa amb Santa Eugènia, sobre un litigiós i antic pla de gran intensitat, posteriorment ebaixada per l’urbanisme democràtic. El nou barri de blocs i amplis espais lliures és el segon dels principals creixements urbans de nou encuny, amb resultats arquitectònics desiguals. Aquesta peça delinea una planta ordenada, sense patis i de peces sempre exteriors, amb aportacions en la integració de l’àtic, en el paper de la volada com a part del volum i en la nitidesa d’un front d’obertura total. -

PichArchitects, Teresa Batlle Pagés, Felip Pich-Aguilera i Baurier
El projecte, com a equipament públic, pretén, d’una banda, tenir la presència que li és pròpia, configurant i consolidant, des de l’accés, l’espai urbà existent, i d’altra banda, a la façana oposada, dialogar -tant des de l’interior, com des dels espais esportius exteriors com l’espai natural del riu; així doncs el propi edifici, es planteja com un espai de transició entre l’espai ciutat i el riu Segre. La llum natural és objectiu principal; el projecte es desenvolupa des de la llum. Tot l’equipament es construeix amb sistemes industrialitzats, garantint un espai diàfan i una ràpida i fàcil posada en obra. El gran espai de piscines es cobreix amb unes grans plaques TT que incorporen, des de la seva fabricació, uns lluernaris que permetin una llum uniforme cap a l’interior de l’espai. L’envolupant de la façana Sud està composta d’una doble pell de policarbonat, combinada amb obertures practicables que aconsegueixen una ventilació natural. Uns panells de formigó pintats amb lluernaris, componen la façana Nord. Les instal·lacions de l’edifici produeixen energia renovable a partir de calderes de biomassa.Dwellings in Manresa

The proposal for the construction and organisation of the spaces has been structured on the basis of the consideration of multiple points of view and of confrontation with the existing city. Strategies: the relationship with the ‘upper’ city, where the roofs and the different treatments of pavements and levels of the open spaces constitute a ‘horizontal façade’ that should have the same urban force and intention as the other façades. With this objective in mind, green roofs with a cistern system are proposed. The relationship with Carrer de Sant Ignasi, which is to be promoted as a main access road to the city: the project proposes, with regard to this street, a typological and façade organisation with a constant rhythm and alignment, in order to generate a group of buildings that form a clear urban boundary. The relationship with Montserrat Street, where a building is proposed that interprets the pre-existing fabric, with its irregularities, with its small plots.Extension of the Teresianas-Ganduxer School
PichArchitects, Teresa Batlle Pagés, Felip Pich-Aguilera i Baurier
The main challenge was to propose an extension in a protected environment, where the presence of the first building designed by Antoni Gaudí flooded the complex. Several locations for the new construction were studied and it was decided to locate the extension in the most suitable place so as not to affect the visibility of the Gaudí building. The new volume respects the height and distances of the adjoining buildings and is functionally linked to the existing sports pavilion. The building had to speak of its time, without turning its back on the textures of the existing building. Thus, a ceramic woven façade was chosen, which acts as a large lattice, and light and luminous elements in the interior of the school. This double skin that thermally and luminously screens the interior allows freedom and flexibility in the distribution of the windows and functionally necessary opaque elements.Mostres d'Arquitectura (Comarques Centrals)

Volumes of clear, clean geometry are proposed as mediators between the city's road layout and the hospital grounds, highlighting the institutional character of the buildings. A ceramic, technological layer with a continuous perforation in the same chromatic range as the historic pavilions of the modernist hospital is envisaged. The relationship flows between uses have been carefully studied – the project is designed to shorten the most frequent routes, segregate incompatible routes and provide large, well-lit interrelation spaces that allow the different work teams to meet. These measures have allowed us to build less surface area than planned while maintaining the functional programme.Evacuation staircase in the Teresianas Ganduxer protected site
PichArchitects, Teresa Batlle Pagés, Felip Pich-Aguilera i Baurier
The project involved detailed work to explain and agree with the heritage of the Barcelona City Council on its impact and its definition to integrate with the pavilion designed and built by Gaudí. After analysing the structure of the pavilion and studying the different possibilities for the location of the evacuation staircase, a staircase was proposed on the outside, delimiting it to the central bay of the side façade, in the interest of respecting the existing modulation. Its position coincides with the end of an interior corridor that gives access to all the classrooms and connects longitudinally with a second staircase. The access volume of the Gaudí building is taken as a reference, as well as some of its lattices, its rhythms, transparency and texture. The project proposes a volume and closure with a traditional ceramic composition in lattices, with the express interest that the façade of the existing pavilion can be seen through it and the different periods of intervention can be understood. The staircase is designed with prefabricated metal elements assembled on site. The project carefully studied the view of the ‘Edifici Gaudí’, both from the outside of the site and from the inside. The proposal allowed passage all around it, as well as dignifying a residual space in the school.Bibliography (21)
