In this issue we address the subject of infrastructures at a time of disjunction between the time it takes to produce architecture and the time of use. We want to recover architectural projects capable of solving this lapse, just like the Instant City of 1971.

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?
Based on an open call for submissions, the Quaderns Observatory is a compilation of recent work and activities developed by COAC members, as well as a means to spread the latest professional activities.
Fragments torn from older issues of Quaderns relating to the chosen reference year for each issue. The objective of the Archive section is to propose a revision of materials from the troves of Quaderns in whichever form they may come: text, graphic, or theme.
