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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Cal Barons
Casa entre mitgeres estructurada en planta baixa i dos pisos superiors. Destaca el parament, fet de maó, amb relleu al voltant de totes les obertures, creant una animació muraria força característica. A la planta baixa hi ha un local comercial amb dues grans entrades, dos arcs escarsers. L'entrada de l'habitatge és un arc rebaixat que sobre seu el maó dibuixa formes triangulars. Als pisos superiors trobem tres obertures a cada pis, dues d'elles balcons amb barana de ferro forjat inspirada en motius vegetals ondulants. L'edifici és rematat per una sanefa, record de les dents de serra romàniques. A la mènsula de pera centrada al primer balcó hi figura gravada la data de 1905. -
Castellet de Ca l'Aymà
Civil building made up of four distinct bodies, with rectangular and square floors, all of them of different heights. The compositional elements of the complex can be classified as modernist or eclectic. Two of these bodies are crowned by battlements and the third and highest one is topped by a roof with four steep slopes. The cornices of the whole set are formed by a cantilever of tiles and brick corbels, a material widely used throughout the building. The windows have a stepped shape at the top, with cantel brick. There is a tribune with coloured stained glass and ceramics. The whole results from the combination and interplay of independent volumes. It was possibly built at the beginning of the 20th century. -
Casino Berguedà
Ignasi M. Colomer i Oms, Roc Cot i Cot
Edifici situat en una cantonada d'un carrer en desnivell que inclou una sala de cinema en una ala, i una sala de cafè i un restaurant a l'altre. La façana té un sòcol de pedres de tipus maçoneria i la part superior, arrebossada amb alguns motius decoratius a les zones altes i els ampits de les obertures amb rajola, alguns elements amb maó. La coberta és de teula àrab. Està estructurada en una sola planta i l'element més característic és poster la forma de les obertures, falsos arcs apuntats fets per aproximació de filades. Roc Cot va iniciar el projecte i Ignasi Colomer el va continuar. És una obra de l'any 1913 en el qual hi varen participar diferents arquitectes. El primer projecte fou del mestre d'obres Francesc Joan Canal (1902) remodelat després per l'arquitecte Roc Cot i Cot i acabat definitivament per l'arquitecte Ignasi M. Colomer el 1913. L'edifici fou reformat el 1940 i definitivament el 1955 al adaptar-se a cinema; d'aquests reformes són l'actual escalinata, l'entrada d'accés que funciona com a sala d'exposicions i les remodelacions de la sala que anul·laren els balcons i la decoració interior.
