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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

  • Ajuntament de Navarcles

    Ignasi Oms i Ponsa

    Ajuntament de Navarcles

    Edifici de planta rectangular de dues plantes, amb molta façana i poca profunditat. Domina la simetria i l'horitzontalitat, només trencada al coronament de l'edifici. Té un gran nombre d'obertures: tres portes d'entrada amb finestres intercalades a la planta baixa i al primer pis set obertures més, cinc de les quals comparteixen el balcó principal. Elements a destacar són dos medallons amb motius florals, la barana del balcó principal de ferro forjat, i els esgrafiats on es pot llegir: "Casa consistorial 1912" amb l'escut de Navarcles al centre. L'any 1910, amb motiu d'haver cobrat 7500 ptes per la redempció d'un cens que feia la casa Solervicens pel molí de Navarcles, l'ajuntament acordà la urbanització de l'actual plaça de la Vila i la construcció d'un nou edifici consistorial, que subsistia l'antiga casa de la plaça Vella, que també havia de servir per acollir escoles públiques. El projecte fou encarregat a l'arquitecte manresà Ignasi Oms i Ponsa. Fou acabat l'any 1912.

  • Sant Valentí Public Library in Navarcles

    Santamaria Arquitectes, Pere Santamaria i Garcia

    Sant Valentí Public Library in Navarcles

    The extension to the Cultural Centre is concentrated in a single three-storey volume and has a public library on the ground and first floors, a hotel on the first and second floors, and an extension to the existing Theatre-Auditorium on the second floor. The plot of land is trapezoidal in shape and is sunken with respect to the surrounding streets. The remaining part of the block is occupied by the Theatre-Auditorium building and the Municipal School of Music, housed in a two-storey building constructed in 2003. The new volume is placed attached to the Theatre-Auditorium, leaving a courtyard between them that acquires the functions of light inlet and space of visual relationship between all. The remaining part of the site will be used for public space. The pronounced topography of the side streets means that the building is semi-underground, with the ground floor at the level of the public space at the front and the second floor at the level of the Theatre-Auditorium.
