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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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
Los apartamentos Reus están situados en la parte más alta del Cap de Salou, desde donde se domina toda la costa, con vistas hacia Tarragona. La parte de atrás del terreno está resguardada por un bosque de pinos muy denso. En este caso, Bonet ha agrupado los apartamentos en tres edificios independientes de planta cuadrada que se van escalonando entre sí, tanto en planta como en alzado. Cada bloque se apoya sobre una planta semisótano que contiene los servicios del edificio y sirve de basamento, y cada bloque tiene cuatro apartamentos por planta, distribuidos en forma de molinete, cada uno en una esquina; de esta forma, cada apartamento dispone de dos fachadas y puede ventilar todas las piezas al exterior. A todos ellos se accede a través de un sistema de escaleras exteriores, situadas en las esquinas, que refuerzan la imagen dinámica de la planta. Desde los apartamentos de la última planta se accede al ático, que está retrasado de la fachada, es totalmente vidriado y está protegido con persianas correderas de librillo. La estructura es de muros de carga y está organizada en forma de cruz. Tanto los muros del semisótano como los muros donde se apoyan las escaleras exteriores están revestidos con piedra del Cap de Salou.
