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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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
The project seeks to restore the typological and morphological values of this Renaissance Palace, locating the broadcasting and public attention services of the archive.
The action determines a remodeling of the area of some old houses where the core of vertical communications and public services are placed, and with the general control on the ground floor of this core.
The exhibition space is in the corridors on the ground floor, which has independent public access from the rest of the archive. The meeting room is on the main floor, with a foyer that takes advantage of the existing carpeted room and representative offices.
On the second floor, the crevices are left clean, open to various didactic and administrative uses, and an ambulatory is enabled above the patio loggia to ensure circulation. The internal services are in the third tier.
The action tends to value the building as a public facility, underlining the function of the courtyard as an open space in the city, with double access from Rei Square and Comtes Street.

B01 Arquitectes, Roser Amadó i Cercós, Lluís Domènech i Girbau
The project seeks to restore the typological and morphological values of this Renaissance Palace, locating the Archive’s services of dissemination and attention to the public. The action determines a remodeling of the area of some old houses where the nucleus of vertical communications and the public services are placed with the general control on the ground floor of this nucleus. The exhibition area, which has a public access which is independent from the rest of the archive, is located on the useful ground floor cracks. The assembly hall is located on the main floor, with a foyer that takes advantage of the existing coffered ceiling room and the representative offices. On the second floor, the crucibles are left clean, open to various didactic and administrative uses, and an ambulatory is enabled over the courtyard lodge to ensure traffic. Internal services are placed on the third floor. The action tends to value the building as a public facility, emphasising the function of the courtyard as an open space in the city, with double access from Plaça del Rei and Comtes Street. -
