El Prat Royal Golf Club Service Pavilion
José Antonio Coderch de Sentmenat, Robert Terradas i Via, Manuel Valls i Vergés
El pavelló dóna l’esquena al camp de golf i s’orienta cap al sud-oest, tot formant un cos amb dues ales que acullen dos grups de funcions ben diferenciades. S’accedeix per l’eix de les dues ales a un àmbit principal transparent cap a la façana oposada, on hi ha les sales d’estar, el bar i el menjador. A la banda nord queda l’ala del personal de servei, amb un pati propi que recull totes les obertures. Per la banda sud creix la segona ala, que allotja les oficines i els vestidors. El pavelló dóna resposta a les qualitats paisatgístiques pròpies d’un camp de golf per mitjà d’una construcció d’una sola planta, vidrada de terra a sostre en bona part de la façana, i unificada per una gran coberta plana que forma voladís en la majoria del seu perímetre. Així s’aconsegueixen uns àmbits directament relacionats amb l’exterior i ben delimitats per sota de les capçades dels arbres.1954

Municipal Sports Stadium
Lorenzo García-Barbón Fernández de Henestrosa, Josep Maria Soteras i Mauri
Barcelona’s Municipal Sport Stadium is located in the lowest part of the Montjuïc mountain, on a site that had been occupied by one of the 1929 International Exposition’s palaces. It was opened in 1955 to host the II Mediterranean Games and has capacity for any type of indoor sport. It was the only sports centre in Barcelona until FC Barcelona opened the Palau Blaugrana in 1971. The building basically consists of a 65-metre span roof that covers the stands and the sports court. The roof is a vault that is made up of nine reinforced concrete arches with three joints, they are built in situ and have a height of 24 metres from their start at the level of the corridor that separates the two rings of stands. These arches are left visible on the outside and are highlighted by covering the other elements with stone cladding. Inside, only the nerves have been left visible, covering the ceilings with a wooden lath that provides a good finish and serves as an acoustic absorber. The accesses to the building are produced through the flat façades, below two rectangular frames with giant vertical concrete slats that filter the lighting.1953 - 1955

Expansion and Refurbishment of the R.C.D. Espanyol's Sarrià Stadium
The Sarrià Road Sports Field, owned by the Real Club Deportivo Espanyol of Barcelona, with a legal capacity of around 15,000 spectators, was insufficient to comfortably contain the large number of people who wanted to witness the football competitions that were held there. Therefore, for a long time, the expansion of the grandstand stands had become essential. In the alignments of the sector approved by the City Council on November 30, 1953, the possibility of permanence and expansion of Sarrià Road Sports Field was foreseen so that a legal capacity of around 35,000 spectators would be possible, leaving the venue of the Sports Field surrounded in almost all its perimeter by streets. At the request of the Board, a general preliminary project was drawn up that would allow the development of the works in various successive phases and in accordance with the economic possibilities of the club. The first phase corresponds to the expansion of the main grandstand, which is the object of the current project. DESCRIPTION - The works essentially consist of adding a cantilevered upper grandstand over the existing one, removing the current metallic structure canopy and extending the depth of the stands by 12 metres. The transversal profiles have been carefully studied to obtain perfect visibility for all spectators, both in the numbered seats and in the standing seats. The stands are divided into a high stand, a low stand and the general stands. The lower tribune comprises the lower section of 6 rows of uncovered numbered seats, while the upper section with 12 rows of covered seats is called the tribune, in which the presidential tribune and the authorities' market are located, flanked by its front and sides by 21 boxes that also extend behind the seats in the main tribune, forming boxes with 6 and 8 seats. For the access of these towns, the following vomitorium and stairs have been planned: 6 2-metre vomitorium and 2 3-metre staircases, 18 metres in total. The lower and main stands are separated by a 1.20-metre-wide corridor, into which the vomitorium open, and in a transversal direction by 1-metre-wide stairs, separated at a maximum distance of 12 m. The terraces of the stands are 80 cm wide, of which 40 are for numbered seats and the rest for passage. The width of the seats will be 0.50 m per viewer. The high tribune also includes two different sections: the upper tribune and the stands, which in turn are subdivided into lower and upper. The upper grandstand will consist of 6 rows of uncovered numbered seats and forms a cantilever over the main grandstand, 9.50 metres. The stands are made up of two sections of 8 and 14 rows of unnumbered standing seats. For the service of these localities, the following vomitorium and stairs are projected: upper tribune, 8 2 m. stands, 10 vomitorium of 2 m. In the upper tribune there is a distribution corridor 1 m wide, and in the stands another central aisle of 1m after the 8th row and another top 2 m after the second flight of stands. The seating locations are calculated to be 0.60x0.50m wide and leaving stairs of 1 m, with a maximum separation of 11 m. STRUCTURE. - The structure of the new grandstand is projected in reinforced concrete, forming porticos with two sections and a 9.50 m cantilever, attaching the new structure to the existing porticos of the current one, leaving an expansion joint between them, so that they are totally independent. The separation between porticos is 7 m of the line of the façade structure and radially converging according to the curvature of the current grandstand. The porticoes are locked by transversal girders and by the ceiling slabs of the floors and mezzanines described. The structure is projected by slabs of reticulated reinforced concrete, the stands being formed by ribs of reinforced concrete and slabs of the same material that complete the bracing of the porticos. The entire structure has been meticulously calculated for overloads of 500 kg per square metre. To avoid the cracks produced by the hardening retractions, two expansion joints have been planned in a transverse direction, coinciding with those currently existing in the current lower stand.1956

Camp Nou
Lorenzo García-Barbón Fernández de Henestrosa, Francesc Mitjans Miró, Josep Maria Soteras i Mauri
The project responds to the need to accommodate a growing number of spectators for a football club that is constantly growing and with a greater social projection. The design criteria were based on a critical analysis of the world's major football stadiums. The playing field is below street level, so the ascent to the highest ranks is not so exaggerated. The stands follow a course of four lowered curves in order to guarantee the maximum proximity of the spectators to the field of play. In section, the stadium is organised in three overlapping tiers, to make the most of the vertical occupancy. The first tier rests directly on the ground. The second tier houses the grandstand seats and the most favoured seats, which are the only covered ones. The third tier houses the general seats and grows in height on the side opposite the grandstand. The evacuation is organised by the combination of numerous vertical circulation cores connected by uninterrupted walkways. The Camp Nou applies rationality criteria to the program of a high-capacity stadium, where the spectators are the real protagonists.1954 - 1957

La Plana Sports Centre
The La Plana Sports Centre was built between 1958 and 1960 to cover and fit out existing sports facilities, the headquarters of the Joventut de Badalona basketball club. Today it is a Municipal Sports Centre where various sporting activities are held. The complex consists of two main bodies with different uses, which can be clearly distinguished on the main façade, facing the Plaça de la Plana. On the right side there is a building of smaller dimensions formed by a vertical communications nucleus which gives access to the area where the administration areas of the pavilion are located, situated in the curved corner of the building. These are illuminated by a horizontal strip of windows on each floor that continues along the side façade around the corner. The rest, and most of the surface area of the complex, corresponds to the basketball court. It is a simpler façade that grows in a staggered manner, with a number of smaller side bays containing the stands and other services such as toilets, as well as a central body with large openings formed by a structure of arched concrete beams that can only be seen on the inside. As for the style of the complex, it can be clearly included in the rationalist movement that spread throughout Catalonia during these years, and which can be seen, above all, in the side building. This can be seen in the horizontality of the façade composition, with a smooth finish, accentuated by the continuity of the windows in the curved corner of the building, as well as a ground floor which, although not completely open, only leaves the pillar structure opaque and fills the openings with openings of pavé-type glass blocks.1958 - 1960
