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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

720m2 hangar at Barcelona's Prat Airport destined for the parking, maintenance and repair of the two planes that make the photogrammetric flights that the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia carries out in order to produce the geographical maps of the territory.
On the ground floor there is the parking platform as well as the warehouses, workshops, changing rooms and sanitary rooms, and on the upper floor there are two offices, the flight office room and another warehouse-archive. In the flight office, aerial photographs are assembled with high-precision digital systems - the first step for the preparation of the maps that are made at the institute's headquarters in Montjuïc.
The project was conditioned by the specific regulations of the airport regarding the regulatory height, of 9m in total, and the type of structure, which had to be light and removable. A space metal mesh was projected and, taking advantage of the fact that the company that manufactured it was building the Palau Sant Jordi in Montjuïc and could build the hangar with the teams it had in the city within the deadlines, we opted for this solution, in the form of a curve, subtle and aerial, which was mounted on the ground and raised in its entirety by two cranes and supported on the metal pillars.
The closing of the façade to the runways was done with four sliding leaf doors by means of an external triangulated beam that collects them on both sides two by two and leaves completely free access to the interior of the ship, 30m wide. The roof and vertical facings are made of sandwich panels, the roof ones are made in situ (11cm thick), and the vertical ones of the standard type of 3.5cm.
The interior floor was painted with four coats of white epoxy paint at the request of the maintenance technicians. This makes it possible to quickly determine, with a single drop and depending on its colour, which are the specific fluids that are in loss in the event of failure.
