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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

The new agricultural complex for the production of cava is located on a large estate, opposite the old Codorniu wineries, designed by Josep Puig and Cadafalch. The project considers the view of the Montserrat mountain, as well as the presence of a century-old oak tree, the ancestral symbol of the company. The complex is organised around two courtyards, one circular and the other rectangular, which configure a plan in the shape of a sickle, the tool used in field work. The circular courtyard gives access to the representative buildings, while the second courtyard is the centre of agricultural tasks, and has the cellars and offices around its perimeter. The cellars are covered by a system of dihedrals held with braces that allow the distributed entry of light and recall the forms of covering of industrial warehouses at the beginning of the century. The roofs are of flat tiles and the overhangs have been covered with sandstone.

This new agricultural complex for the production of cava is located in front of the cellars built by Puig i Cadafalch in the heart of El Penedès wine region and had to respect and value the presence of a century-old oak tree, a symbol of the family’s dedication to the cultivation of these lands. The architecture is arranged linearly next to the hills that close the gentle slope of the vineyards, so that it offers views over the crops and the characteristic mountain of Montserrat. It is organised around two courtyards. The circular one qualifies the oak, encourages it but does not limit it, and supports the spaces of representation. The other one is rectangular and is the agricultural workplace, where the technical elements of the process - presses, vats, cellars - and the offices are located.
The red brick, the slabs with exposed concrete beams 'in situ', flat ceramic tile roofs and overhangs covered in sandstone are the construction materials.
