Intro

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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Twobo va ser fundada en 2007 per María Pancorbo, AlbertoTwose i Pablo Twose a Barcelona. El procés creatiu de Twobo és meticulós, desafiador i l'artesania sempre és present en ell. Dibuixar a mà i fer maquetes són dos elements clau del procés de disseny, totes dues tècniques requereixen temps i paciència.

Twobo ha estat premiat en alguns concursos i compta amb diferents reconeixements, com l'esment especial en el premi bianual de la Mostra de les Comarques del Maresme pels sis habitatges a Cabrera la Mar, que alhora aconsegueixen el reconeixement en els Premis Ascer de ceràmica.

Chronology

  1. Gran Sol Primary Healthcare Centre

    Llongueras Clotet Arquitectes, TwoBo Arquitectura, Maria Rosa Clotet, Joan Llongueras Mestres, Alberto Twose, Pablo Twose

    Gran Sol Primary Healthcare Centre

    Building integrated into the plot as land replacement of an existing park. A small two-storey terracotta coloured pavilion is related to the park, which is the only apparent volume. We can find the same language as the retaining walls of the rest of the park. Some graffiti covers the concrete façade of the buried building. Formed by two large platforms, the building is located at the lowest one, at an underground compared to the level of the park. A body buried in the park continues the alignment, layout and exterior treatment of the current retaining walls. A garden deck consolidates the park, not accessible for security reasons. A lighter pavilion protrudes one floor from the park, resting on the stone base of the buried volume.

  3. Dwellings in Cabrera de mar

    Dwellings in Cabrera de mar

    Filling an urban void. On the north side of the building, the proportion of openings, colours and composition of the old town of Cabrera de Mar, without renouncing a more contemporary language that is expressed with greater intensity on the south side, open to the sun and the views. Here the concrete structure creates lattices that act as a great filter, forming loggias and pergolas that protect the interior of the dwellings. The house extends at both ends; on the north side it takes over the communal spaces or opens onto the street through large openings. On the south side, it opens up to sun exposure and open living on terraces or patios. Each dwelling seeks a fluid transition between these two poles, by means of single and double circular routes, or in the long diagonal views that cross the floor plan. In the centre are volumes (bathrooms or wardrobes) that articulate and make all this movement possible. The use of simple but clearly expressive materials stand out - concrete, pine wood and ceramics.
