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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

  • Ca l'Olivella de Font Clara

    autoria desconeguda

    The farmhouse is located near the village of Lavern, next to the Sant Sadurní road. Detached house composed of basement, ground floor and two floors. It has a gable roof and tower topped by a balustrade. The façade has a symmetrical composition with four balconies from a portal on the first floor. In the second, there are semi-circular arched windows. The roof has eaves with modillions. Ca l'Olivella was born in the 16th century, within the context of the creation of new farms (properties of peasant origin), with the sale by the monarchy to merchants or wealthy farmers arising from the sentence of Guadalupe. It was later redone in an eclectic style.

    second half of the 19th century

  • Sant Pere de Lavern Church

    autoria desconeguda

    Church of a single nave with an apse. The portal is vaulted and above there is a rose window; the bell tower is to the left of the main façade, it has openings for the bells and a crowning of stepped battlements. Inside, there is an interesting Romanesque immersion basin. It has a round outer upper edge, with triple concave and convex mouldings and undecorated corbels. It also retains an almost illegible external inscription "Fecit gleopa". The rectory, now half-abandoned, is attached to the temple and preserves many old decorative elements, such as a watchtower and carved stone windows. The church is of Romanesque origin but was completely redone in the 1920s, in neo-Romanesque style, taking advantage of the old stones (some of them with markings and drawings of the stonemasons).

    first half of the 20th century

  • Cal Maristany

    Eduard Maristany i Gibert

    Large farmhouse with a rectangular plan, consisting of a ground floor and a first floor, with a gable roof of Arabic tiles. On the north façade we can see, on the first floor, an arcade with five-pointed basket-handle arches, with mouldings and capitals, rectangular windows with moulded sills and lintels. We also find some oculi. On the south façade, on the other hand, the basket-handle arches are lower and we also find oculi. The head has a quadrangular tower composed of ground floor, main floor and attic, with hipped roofs with wooden beams topped by corbels. On the first floor there is a curved balcony and twin windows with five-pointed gabled arches in the attic. A bastion stands out at the main entrance.

  • Rehabilitació de Cal Ros i Cal Moro

    STEM Arquitectes, Esteve Aymerich Serra, Inés de Rivera Marinel·lo, Anton Maria Salvadó i Cabré

    Rehabilitació de Cal Ros i Cal Moro

    Es tracta d'un projecte de rehabilitació integral, on la volumetria ha de mantenir la seva configuració original, formada per dues cases adossades Cal Ros i Cal Moro, i un cobert tancat a tres cares. La substitució de la coberta permet regularitzar la seva geometria i reconfigurar el porxo, que com a extensió de la sala estableix una nova relació amb l'era orientada a sud-est. El programa manté la independència de les dues cases amb una nova escala interior que comunica les dues plantes i dona sentit comunitari a tot el conjunt, format pels dos habitatges en planta baixa i les futures ampliacions en planta inferior, amb accés independent des de la vinya. La consolidació estructural consisteix en una estructura metàl·lica a l'interior dels murs de pedra, i nous forjats amb biguetes i revoltons de formigó vist. Tot i l'acabat tradicional amb morter de calç per als tancaments exteriors, s'opta per trasdossar l'interior amb aïllament i taulells de viroc donant més confort a les estances.
