Traditionally, preservation has been understood as the crystallization of what exists. We preserve. Still, how can we preserve what is constantly changing, what is happening inside what is built, the use, in other words, authentic architecture?

Guillem Carabí: On the subject of refurbishment; Jujol and can Negre

— code: 26321

Registre: 41 (AMSJD). Façana principal de Can Negre amb Engràcia Balet i Manuel Cortés Pibernat. Any: 1928

(Català) L’arquitectura de Josep M. Jujol ha estat explicada, habitualment, des de l’estigma de la manca de recursos. La precarietat dels encàrrecs de clients modestos i la senzillesa dels materials utilitzats als seus edificis semblen legitimar aquesta percepció.

1

(Català) La preservació ha tornat al centre de la teoria i la pràctica arquitectònica després de llanguir al marges durant més de mig segle. Tan sols una dècada enrere, hagués estat impossible pensar que les fites en aquest camp serien assentades per diversos i importants projectes de restauració.

La Col: Restoring Can Batlló

— code: 26320

We study the history and the current context of the enclosure from different points of view (urban, social and economic). We promote debates and discussions about the city transformations and we are working on new strategies that, according to the actual economical situation, could slowly inhabit again Can Batlló.

(Català) Per a la reutilització com a equipament cultural de l’edifici existent i l’adaptació a les normatives i usos actuals, la proposta planteja la construcció de dos nous elements dintre del conjunt i una nova escala que, sense desvirtuar en cap cas les característiques formals i patrimonials de l’edifici permeten millorar el funcionament d’aquest.

López-Rivera: IES at Begues

— code: 26317

IES BEGUES 03

Our proposal steps down the slope, fragmenting into different buildings and platforms, in order to maintain the largest amount of existing trees. It seeks to integrate them into the open spaces between the built volumes.

Urtzi Grau: ‘Three replications of the German pavilion’

— code: 26313

Cabecera

The three reconstructions completed in 1986 in Barcelona (Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Cristian Cirici and Fernando Ramos), Madrid (Josep Quetglas) and Milan (OMA/Rem Koolhaas)…illustrate three histories of the Modern Movement that use the pavilion as a historiographic argument.
