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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

CAN GUINEU is an ephemeral architecture project to enable sustainable community building.
Through this temporary intervention, a relevant local heritage site is made accessible to citizens for the first time since its public acquisition. Supporting artistic events, cultural performances and social gatherings, CAN GUINEU becomes a local hub to bring communities together, fostering social cohesion and prompting a sense of belonging and of shared ownership of the place.
CAN GUINEU was promoted by Sant Sadurní City Hall and designed and built by a multidisciplinary team of faculty and students from ELISAVA, supported by local associations and NGOs working on solidarity and cooperation projects.
CAN GUINEU is a design proposal that strategically uses temporality to simultaneously address arts and culture, heritage and community building.

  1. Can Guineu Pot Stills

    autoria desconeguda

    Industrial complex made up of porches and wine cellars. Gabled entablature on semicircular diaphragm arches. Plain brick barrel vaults with lunettes. Wine press and tubs. Yard. La Fassina de Can Guineu is located in front of the old manor house of Can Guineu, in the centre of Sant Sadurní between two important axes of the area, Carrer de l'Hospital and Carrer de Sant Pere. It was built in 1800 by comission of Pere Mir i Porta, owner of Can Guineu.

  2. Can Guineu

    autoria desconeguda

    Large building rebuilt in 1851 following the characteristics of Eclecticism. It consists of a basement, a ground floor and a floor under the attic, with a terrace and a roof of Arabic tiles. It has an interior courtyard with palm trees and galleries of cast iron columns, and a cloister with a high and low gallery of semicircular arches. The imperial staircase and the interiors, with period furniture and accessories, are also noteworthy. Can Guineu is located in the centre of Sant Sadurní, between two important axes of the area, Carrer de l'Hospital and Carrer de Sant Antoni. It was originally a manor house. In 1703 it became the property of the Mir family, when Pau Mir bought it from the administrators of the Hospital de la Santa Creu. In 1851, after a trip made by the owners to Andalusia, the house was renovated and extended in accordance with the dominant aesthetic criteria at that time.
