Can Modolell
Can Modolell was a fortified house with a defense tower against pirates, built in the 16th century. This tower is one of the most prominent elements of the building, which was renovated in a modernist-neogothic style in 1892. They took advantage of the structure of the old tower, on the first floor of which the chapel was built, as well as the annex buildings on both sides. In one of these buildings, where the corner balcony is, the winter dining room was installed, equipped with a beautiful neo-Gothic chimney made of carved wood, the work of J. Azemar and J. Riera from 1893. Today they are the office of the mayor and his secretary. The Modolells' summer dining room was installed on the back side, it has glazed ceramic windows and overlooks the balcony over the garden. Magdalena Modolell Gardens are bounded by the façades of the Can Modolell building, Jaume Abril, Sol and Àngel Guimerà streets and by the façades of the Carrer de la Farina and Ca n'Escuder. The garden staircase is quite interesting, with balustrade and moulded and stained glass windows. Due to an oil painting from the end of the 19th century - the work of a Nogués married to a Modolell (owners of the house at the time), it is known that the construction consisted of two bodies separated by the tower. The one on the right has a semicircular arch at the portal (perhaps 17th century) and two floors; the one on the left was a large house with three floors in the 19th century. This structure was used when carrying out the important neo-Gothic refurbishment, which is what gives the building its current appearance, dated according to the moulded lintel of the side balcony in 1892.1892 - 1899

La Ballena Alegre Campsite
The campsite is made up of a set of facilities scattered in the coastal pine forest of the Llobregat Delta, a completely flat landscape between the road and the Viladecans beach. During the 1930s, this coastline was the site of the future Ciutat de Repós i de Vacances of the GATCPAC and Le Corbusier. The programme is divided into two parts that correspond to two separate farms, but connected to each other. The most important criterion has been to conceive the campsite as if it were a small city of ephemeral homes with a series of built nuclei that territorially organise the activity of the campers: an entrance nucleus, another nucleus next to the sea, two other secondary nuclei at medium depth, and another more compact nucleus located on the second property. Showers have also been built next to the beach, developed from a previous proposal by the architect Ramon Tort. Most of the pavilions have a unique design, based on their own morphological characteristics, and are unified by construction materials. Currently the facility has stopped working as it is affected by the expansion of the El Prat de Llobregat Airport.1958 - 1960

Càmping El Toro Bravo
El càmping El Toro Bravo estava situat al sud del delta del riu Llobregat, sota una gran pineda litoral. A la memòria del projecte, l’arquitecte Francesc Mitjans descrivia l’entorn com un paratge “sensiblement pla, ocupat per un frondós bosc de pins proper al mar, totalment respectat en el projecte, amb vistes al mar, tenint entrades de mar denominades llacuna El Remolar i llacuna La Vidala”. L’entorn del càmping, entre maresmes i sota la pineda litoral, presentava unes condicions molt favorables per a una ocupació temporal i lleugera. Per una banda, la pineda aportava una densa ombra que protegia del sol. Per l’altra, el terreny horitzontal permetia una fàcil adaptació per a l’acampada, i una bona accessibilitat. La decisió principal de l’arquitecte fa ser reconèixer els valors del propi entorn per a donar resposta a les noves necessitats que el càmping introduïa, i que va arribar a allotjar fins a 6000 viatgers. En el projecte va definir un seguit de camins entre els pins que originaven la disposició aleatòria de les parcel·les. Entre aquests traçats, destacava un eix equipat que creuava tot el recinte en diagonal, des de l’accés fins el mar, i que incloïa els pavellons d’ús comú: pèrgola d’accés, recepció, torre del dipòsit d’aigües, supermercat, sanitaris i restaurant amb les piscines. L’any 2005 va finalitzar la seva activitat amb motiu de l’ampliació de l’aeroport de Barcelona – El Prat, i actualment és un entorn natural amb protecció PEIN.1962

Sant Jordi Group of Houses
Tous & Fargas, Josep Maria Fargas i Falp, Enric Tous i Carbó
El caràcter principal de l'edifici resideix en l'astuta síntesi de les escales que planteja l'operació arquitectònica: de la casa a la ciutat. Alguns aspectes que ho posen de manifest són la reculada de les plantes baixes -al mateix estil d'Eugène Hénard a París- que dota el conjunt d'un cert pintoresquisme i els diferents graus de privadesa de les vies, des del carrer públic, al passatge i al pati interior jardí. Tot això juntament amb la sàvia articulació del bloc lineal que aspira a generar una configuració de mansana urbana oberta al carrer. El projecte de Tous i Fargas ha de ser identificat a l'escala urbana. L'ordenació de l'illa i el model d'agrupació responen a la idea de construcció orgànica de la ciutat. La reculada entre habitatges a favor d'una alineació esglaonada havia estat recurrent en els projectes d'habitatge col·lectiu des de la Cité Moderne de Victor Bourgeois a Brussel·les (1922-1925), o en els seus homònims nòrdics, de la mà d'Arne Jacobsen i les agrupacions de habitatges Soholm (1950-1955) o Jørn Utzon i les cases Fredensborg (1959-1965). D'altra banda, l'aposta tecnològica dels autors en els primers anys d'exercici professional sembla canalitzar-se cap al rigor domèstic dels últims, en una aposta clara a favor de la reformulació del bloc i les seves tipologies com a models de l'hàbitat obrer dels anys seixanta.1966 - 1974

Camy-Nestlé Industrial Overpass
The programme called for the construction of a bridge that would serve as a connection between two buildings of the same factory separated by one of the streets of the industrial estate. The bridge allows the passage of employees and the provision of two conveyor belts for packaged material, electrical conduits and power conduits for cold processes. The structural section groups the different loads and offers a specific solution for each one, taking into account the lags caused by load variations. The pedestrian crossing is formed by a section of post-tensioned concrete that supports a system of prefabricated elements that allow light to enter.1991 - 1994

El Bolet
The project places the building the highest point of the plot and is staggered from one floor to the next until it is deposited on the lowest elevation. In section, each of the floors gradually loses height with respect to the upper floor and, in plan, the various bodies are added to span across the ground, until closing an external space between the house and the natural slope of the land. In this way, flat slabs are achieved on a plot that seemed inaccessible, as well as a maximum length of façade with views, where all the house's outbuildings are arranged.1992 - 1997

El Torrent Ballester Park
SOB Arquitectos Asociados, Arturo Frediani Sarfati, Enric Soler López
Strategy [Typology]. Consider that green areas do not need a distinction between ornamental and leisure areas. Until now, parks have been divided into paths and decorative margins. Concentrate on the different opportunities for enjoyment and their mutual relationships. System [Tectonics]. Not being so, Torrent Ballester inaugurates a successful family of "parametric" parks by introducing a "patchwork" of textures. While in the Viladecans park the value of each piece depends on the value of the adjacent pieces and the context, in contemporary examples, the distribution of the squares is usually merely compositional or simply arbitrary. Environment [Topology]. Just as lines drawn on a meadow turn it into an exciting football pitch, formal rules of play are proposed in order to reproduce to scale the most playful and relational sections of the social fabric.1995 - 1997

Atrium Cultural and Sports Amenity
Bonell i Gil Arquitectes, Esteve Bonell i Costa, Josep Maria Gil i Guitart
The complex not only has to consolidate an urban space but completes a large sports and cultural area started with the construction of the new football field. The project consists of a swimming pool, sports centre, theatre and bar-restaurant. Each space functions independently, with both structural and spatial autonomy, but subject to a general order with the aim of giving a unified image to the whole. A longitudinal lobby is proposed, which absorbs the entrances of each of the areas, allows a good view with a single daily access control and at the same time has the appropriate dimension to be able to respond to specific demands of a large influx of public.2003

Torre-Roja Sports Centre
Brullet - De Luna Arquitectes, Manuel Brullet i Tenas, Alfonso de Luna Colldefors
Within the project of a large sports complex in the Torre Roja park, composed of two covered swimming pools and a multi-sports court, two football fields and their equipment and changing rooms have been built as a first stage, which are delimited by a torrent and along the central avenue of access to the park. The project starts from a careful reading of the site. The services and changing rooms building is placed on a topographic step with the aim of minimising its volume. The project is determined by the duality between the powerful presence of the mountain on the north face and the attention that needs to be paid to the sports activity located on the south. This duality is resolved in a roof with an asymmetrical section that opens the building towards the views of the mountain and projects the visuals towards the football field through a compression of the section that ends in a wide porch. Enjoying the spaciousness of the mentioned section, the following are located on the ground floor: the access control, the bar, and administrative offices. Using a side ramp or internal stairs you can access the -1 floor, where we find the changing rooms, which achieve a pleasant warmth characterised by the abundance of natural light and the generous use of wood. The combination of zinc and deployeé make up the exterior image of the building.2007 - 2010
