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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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
A l'inici de la segona meitat del segle XIX es demanen nous permisos per posar barca i pescar, així com els de construir les primeres pesqueres cobertes que coneixem. La llicència més antiga sol·licitada per construir una pesquera data del 2 d'octubre del 1862. És la de Manuel Cabanelles, que resulta interessant, com en el cas suara esmentat, per la desiderata vital que hi mostra, també amb certes pretensions literàries. En la instància demanava construir una pesquera en el lloc en què en Josep Vila abans tenia una horta.
Aquesta horta d'en Vila estava situada al marge esquerre del rec de Guèmol i va constituir fins ben entrat el segle passat l'únic lloc edificat d'aquesta zona de dragues. No es coneix cap plànol que acompanyés la sol·licitud, però per deduccions dels següents titulars, es pot confirmar que aquesta pesquera —actualment d'en Butinyà (núm. 6)— va ser ampliada el 1888 per adossar-hi una embarcació. En aquest cas sí que hi ha un plànol amb la vella pesquera i l'ampliació per a la barca. Més tard, o potser en el mateix moment de l'obra, es va unificar el conjunt i en va resultar la construcció actual, mentre que la traça de la vella pesquera, en quedar-hi integrada, ha desaparegut del tot. Tal com es van començar a bastir la majoria de les pesqueres que anomenem tradicionals, era de planta quadrada de 2,80x2,80 m. Així doncs, tot fa pensar que podria haver estat la primera pesquera tancada i amb teulada de l'estany.
