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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Memory
Edifici entre parets mitgeres, que consta d'una planta baixa i de dos pisos, amb coberta a dues vessants. La façana queda coronada per una arqueria i barbacana. L'edifici alterna elements historicistes (llindars i portalada ) amb altres elements formals de caràcter modernista (medallons, esgrafiats, sanefes i ceràmica).
L'activitat industrial del segle XIX portà la indústria tèxtil a Granollers, que començà la seva creixença amb les manufactures cotoneres i llurs indústries auxiliars, estenent la trama urbana fora de l' emmurallat i prop de les vies de comunicació. Així, iniciaren l'allargassament del nucli urbà entre el Congost i el ferrocarril de França.
D'aquesta manera, la carretera de Barcelona-Ribes es convertí en l'eix de la ciutat, zona de l'eixample al final del s XIX, on trobem representats els moviments arquitectònics dels darrers cent anys.
Edifici entre mitgeres de planta baixa i dues plantes pis. Coberta de teula a dues vessants. La façana queda coronada per una arqueria contínua subratllada per una barbacana. Els elements historicistes (llindars i portalada) i els formals i decoratius (medallons, esgrafiats, sanefes, revestiments ceràmics) li donen caràcter modernista (CUSPINERA et alií, 2001).
El 1866 es va dedicar el abans carrer d'Isabel II a Joan Prim, el qual el 19 d'agost del 1842 va visitar Granollers, on fou rebut solemnement amb la banda del batalló de la caserna, en agraïment per la gestió del traçat de la carretera (BAULIES, 1986b). Es troba al carrer-carretera que travessa el casc urbà i que impulsà el creixement del primer eixampla de Granollers, a finals del segle XIX, on es troben representats els moviments arquitectònics dels darrers cent anys. Aquest eix, darrerament, està patint un fort procés de transformació amb la proliferació de construccions de substitució.
