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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

  • Can Reverter Nou

    autoria desconeguda

    Can Reverter Nou

    Isolated building with square plan surrounded by a garden. It has a ground floor, a floor and an attic. It has a hip roof of Arabic tiles and, in the centre, a lookout tower with the same type of roof rises. The access door has a carved arch. The openings are spaced, of placard with filigree relief. The corner opening has a lintel supported by a column with a Doric capital; it gives access to a small terrace that covers the added side body. At floor level there is a running gallery crowned by small battlements. A series of imbrications and the eaves crown the building. Can Reverter was built in the first quarter of the 20th century as the family's manor house. The house has undergone important interior renovations - its interior space has been divided into different homes.

    SUER Apartment Building

    The blind walls of the partitions frame the large open courtyard - with the staircase, the elevator, the galleries and the access bridges to the homes - and are seen with greater dignity despite their absurd presence due to the abrupt change in heights in the same block, as permitted by the mandatory urban planning regulations.

  • Sant Vicenç dels Horts Primary Healthcare Centre

    Bach-Mora Arquitectes, Jaume Bach i Núñez, Gabriel Mora i Gramunt

    Sant Vicenç dels Horts Primary Healthcare Centre

    The Sant Vicenç dels Horts Primary Healthcare Centre is located on a flat plot of land, with an almost square surface, located within an urban plot of little interest and with a single dignified front facing the main road. A single floor is proposed in the entire surface and two in the main façade, with the aim of creating an appropriate image for a public building. The other façades are configured by an inexpressive perimeter enclosure. The floor plan revolves around a circular courtyard with a tree with a generous crown, which acts as a plant dome, in the centre. Around it, the patient circulation and waiting areas are located. The offices are located on the perimeter, protected from the direct view from the street by a courtyard.

  • FGC Railway Station: Can Ros

    Bach-Mora Arquitectes, Jaume Bach i Núñez, Gabriel Mora i Gramunt

    FGC Railway Station: Can Ros

    The small stop of Sant Vicenç dels Horts, on the outskirts of the rural town, is in the centre of the city. The line, due to the topography, runs elevated with respect to the historic core and at level with the rear periphery. There has never been more than a platform and an innumerable underpass, low and narrow. The project matches the underground station and the pedestrian crossing. Each of the two tracks bridges the space of the lobby and leaves between them an entrance of natural light that matches the width of the single central platform. The canopy that covers it extends as a cover for this space, which in this way offers a dimension and a character which is appropriate to its public function. To separate the trains from this focus of light and avoid the rain, two cut-out walls are erected as a metaphor for the railway.
