Sota l’ègida del feixisme vencedor del 1939, el llenguatge i la matriu dels projectes defugen les avantguardes assajades al primer terç del s. xx per abraçar patrons neoclàssics amb graus diversos d’abstracció. Pensada com a residència infantil, el 1963 esdevingué escola en una part i residència escolar femenina en l’altra. L’artefacte s’enclava amb rotunditat al pendent de la muntanya i estén un braç central per formar una “T” en conjunt. Té interès com a exemple del neorenaixentisme dels anys quaranta, plasmat en rajol i pedra artificial a la manera tan cara a la nova «avantguarda» falangista castellana, amb un cos central potent i coronat amb un gran timpà. Sobretot, però, destaca l’estructura de voltes bufades o «a la catalana», aquí d’un sol full de rajol, que Bosch aplicà metòdicament al llarg del seu exercici, seguint precursors tan rellevants com Guastavino. La reforma i l’ampliació projectades (Josep Miàs, 2007) desestimaran probablement una bona part dels espais originals.

This complex of buildings, used as a holiday camp for two groups of 72 children, is located on the “Mas Silvestre” estate, owned by the Caixa d’Estalvis de Sabadell. Set on a south-facing slope in the Catalan coastal mountain range, at an average elevation of 320 metres above sea level, the site is largely sheltered from the winds of the Montseny and includes areas of woodland, cultivated land and abandoned vineyards. The building occupies the upper part of the site, adapting to the topography of the terrain. It is organised into three distinct volumes —two containing the sleeping accommodation and one housing communal services— linked by arcaded porches and arranged so as to incorporate a large central outdoor space, the courtyard, bounded to the south by the porches and to the north by the forest. The unity of the different volumes is expressed through a continuous pitched tiled roof, which is maintained in an organically continuous form and allows for a varying number of storeys depending on the changing level of the ground. The project is based on the intention of making the plan more flexible, with a view to allowing different modes of use. By decentralising the layout, the aim has been to dissolve the building into the landscape, adapting it to the topography while ensuring constant contact between all its spaces and nature. The courtyard is enclosed on all sides by built volumes except to the north, where it adjoins the forest. In this way, the forest gradually merges with and dissolves into the architecture. Access to the building is from the south. Passing through a porch, one reaches the two dormitory blocks (staff accommodation, children’s dormitories, sanitary facilities, and a shared space with toilets and clothes storage, which acts as a unifying element within each block), as well as the administration area (director’s bedroom and study, guest rooms and shared spaces, with the possibility of independent operation). Each building volume connects to the outdoor space via a covered porch used for recreation and manual activities. At one corner of the plan, overlooking the central courtyard, there are two dining rooms that can be converted into meeting rooms, and a smaller third dining space for guests. Together with their service areas, these form the third independent block, accessed via the main porch. Within this block, it was considered appropriate to include an infirmary to ensure care for sick children in the event of the rest of the camp being absent. The construction system is very simple, using brick load-bearing walls finished with render and paint both internally and externally. These follow a strict 5-metre structural grid, reinforcing the overall unitary character of the complex despite the flexibility of the plan. Access to the estate is via an existing path that crosses the site entirely towards Canyamars. Opposite the building, down the slope on the other side of the path, there is a sports area with a swimming pool, playing field, sports court and changing rooms.

El edifico de la Rambla Nova, situado en uno de los entornos más destacados del ensanche tarraconense, no muestra en su exterior la naturaleza o variedad de las funciones que alberga, de abajo a arriba: escuela, iglesia y residencia religiosa con sus correspondientes servicios comunes. La claridad compositiva de la fachada, antaño blanca e inequívocamente moderna, es una de las características de este edificio: su composición, de inspiración corbuseriana, juega rítmicamente con los huecos rectangulares mientras la monotonía del conjunto se rompe mediante grandes gestos de una escala superior. Entre ellos destacan el saliente, a modo de tribuna, de las plantas más altas –correspondientes a la residencia– con dos grandes balcones corridos, la primera planta totalmente acristalada y el zócalo, formado por una gran celosía de hormigón prefabricado y un collage en bajorrelieve del artista Carles Collet, donde la combinación de distintas fábricas de piedra nos recuerda a los yacimientos arqueológicos tan presentes en la ciudad.

The facilities are located on a perimeter plot of the Torregirona Garden, the headquarters of the UPC’s Rectorate. The land presents a strong downward slope in a N-S direction, and Dulcet and Til·lers Streets have a difference in elevation at the ends of the plot of 6m. The proposal is made for two different uses, the first of which will be a student residence to be carried out in a first phase and then an office building with an auditorium will be projected. The layout of the residence is executed in three wings, responding to issues of orientation and urban morphology, but also due to the need to respect the existence of a provisional pavilion of the UPC, located in the S-E part of the site, where the offices and auditorium will be placed. Wing A is aligned with Dulcet Street, in accordance with the continuity criteria of the curved building in Güell Square and the enclosure of the site. Building C is arranged according to the orthogonal relation to the Rectorate building, and building B pivots according to the dynamic view from the curve of Til·lers Avenue. Buildings A and B exhaust the permitted height of PB+3, while building C is maintained with two floors to avoid volumetric impact with the garden and the Rector's pavilion. Buildings B and C have a flat roof, while Building A has a curved roof that contains the central heating and air conditioning installations, the south-facing solar energy collector panels that produce domestic hot water and the heating. The three types of rooms form three wings joined for a central communications core, although a complementary elevator for students is planned for practical reasons. The office building is designed as a morphological complement to the residence to deal with a "staircase" problem in the Torregirona garden and the entire Pedralbes district. Its main pedestrian access to the interior level of the Campus will be related to the landscaped path that surrounds the Rectorate and where the entrance to the existing residence is also located. Here, they come together in two entrances, sharing the porch, which would provide a good entrance into the auditorium, an important piece of the program for the new equipment. The new block rotates in plan, so that, volumetrically, it has an imperative visual relationship with the one with the same number of floors of the residence, leaving triangles of green plot. With this solution, the new construction integrates compositionally with the existing one and maintains a coherent relationship with the Rectorate's garden and with the rest of the neighbouring constructions. The study of the program indicates that the four upper floors have equal surfaces and are flexible in terms of internal distribution. The building grows on floors 0-1 by locating the auditorium, changing rooms, access control and storage/archives. The location of the program underground allows the use of passive energy in terms of insulation. The composition of the constructive section of the façades is thought from acoustic and thermal comfort and, in this sense, a ventilated façade solution with solar protection on the windows is thought of, which will condition the architectural language, which once again interprets the morphology of the façades of the existing residence.
