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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Nau 3 has an independent position and can therefore operate autonomously. The aim of this project is to adapt the current space of Nau 3 as a home for the elderly. The structure of the building is maintained, demolishing the existing partitions on the first floor. Aluminum joinery is placed on the exterior windows, with a break in the thermal bridge and Hervent-type laminar chamber glass from Gravent. The building is equipped with the necessary facilities located on the first floor, which is accessed through a staircase that is supported by the bodies of the toilet, volumes located at the entrance, the dining room and the casino are located on each side of the kitchen and are complementary. A room that is isolated with a curtain that allows events to be held separately. All interior finishes are resistant to use and easy to maintain.
