Era el otoño de 1988 cuando nos establecimos en la calle Johann Sebastian Bach de A Barcelona con la ilusión de empezar una vía profesional, decidida, coherente y especializada en el mundo de las antigüedades, conocedores aunque sin la experiencia suficiente, de los cambios, fluctuacio- nes, modas, dificultades y aciertos que supone este universo que intenta parar el paso del tiempo. Hemos querido ser fieles a nuestros orígenes, lo hemos sido y tenemos la intención de seguir en esta línea. En el transcurso de estos años hemos ido adaptando nuestro gusto y nuestras opciones profesionales y hemos recorrido diferentes campos del arte de los siglos XIX y XX, especialmente de la pintura, hasta recalar en la alta época, atraídos por la singularidad de las obras de escultura y de pintura de los siglos XIII – XVI, por la rareza cada vez mayor de una especialización en esta línea, y por la convicción de qué lejos de suponer una vía agotada, las imágenes pintadas y esculpidas de épocas tan lejanas pueden tener plena vigencia en nuestro mundo contemporáneo. Aún nos acordamos de la primera obra que adquirimos de pintura gótica, una obra del aragonés Martín Bernat, un Calvario que nos pareció maravilloso y que todavía nos continúa cautivando por la fuerza de la composición, por la riqueza cromática y por la luz.

    COL·LEGI D’ARQUITECTES DE CATALUNYA 1874-1962 Enric Granell, Antoni Ramon The author of the cover photograph is Klaus Erik Halmburger. Thanks to the donation of Enric Granell, it forms part of the Historical Archive of the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya. This book is published at a time of crisis when it is useful to look back at our history and review the role played by the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (Architects’ Institute of Catalonia) at other, equally difficult moments and to see how, in its support to architects as a body, the COAC has been able to evolve by adapting to new situations. It is also positive to see how some constants of the COAC and, by extension, of Catalan architects, have continued throughout inevitable changes. These are values such as the will to undertake the responsibility for constructing a quality environment for our fellow citizens, with social and cultural commitment, incorporating the requirements and needs produced by the rapid transformation of lifestyles and technological means. Since 1874, first the Associació d’Arquitectes de Catalunya and then the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya have brought together the architectural profession, becoming its public representative and a link between citizens, professionals and architecture. With the opening of the building in Barcelona’s Plaça Nova, 50 years ago now, these roles acquired a new dimension. Today, at a time of far-reaching global change, the objectives remain the same, and we continue with our search for new ways to make them reality.

The Catalan tourism sector has boosted the accessibility of its services, making a reality the principle that a respectful and diverse society should recognise the equality of conditions for people with disabilities. This principle is enshrined in the “Barcelona declaration: the city and people with disabilities” that to date has been signed by 400 European cities. There are many Catalan companies and destinations that have adapted their products and services accordingly.
  • Structural Assessment of the Roman Wall and Vaults of the Cloister of Tarragona Cathedral

    Structural Assessment of the Roman Wall and Vaults of the Cloister of Tarragona Cathedral

    Structural Assessment of the Roman Wall and Vaults of the Cloister of Tarragona Cathedral Abstract The Mediterranean city of Tarragona was a capital city in Roman times. Nowadays, the remains of the ancient constructions coexist with many subsequent buildings. This is the case of the Gothic Cathedral cloister, whose walls partially take advantage of the remains of the temenos’s wall. This paper focuses on the assessment of that unique overlapping of construction phases. The investigation is performed through an unprecedented topographical survey by means of massive data capture techniques. This information is the basis for the mechanical assessment of the equilibrium conditions of the northern corner of the gallery, which is performed on the well-known theoretical framework of limit analysis by means of thrust lines. The study allowed to enhance the understanding about the equilibrium conditions and the deformation processes of the gallery masonry elements, where the mechanical relation between the Roman and Gothic walls is essential.

Los confl ictos eclesiásticos generados a partir del proceso de segregación jurisdiccional respecto a la metrópolis de Narbona, la rivalidad con Toledo a propósito de la primacía hispánica y la voluntad de subrayar la fundación apostólica de la sede explican la dedicación a santa Tecla (discípula de Pablo, isoapóstolos y protomártir) y el extraordinario programa iconográfi co que plasma una versión de los Acta Pauli et Teclae. El prestigio de la caput ecclesiarum totius Citerioris Hispaniae (en palabras del arzobispo Oleguer) se refl eja en la creación de una obra de calidad excepcional que se inserta en las innovadoras corrientes escultóricas del tardorrománico hispano. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es ofrecer una datación más temprana y una nueva lectura iconográfi ca para este altar.

If one piece and another were to find their way to museums, where they could serve to inform under careful conservation, this fault could be excused; but they are all too often converted into decorative items for lounges and workshops , and this when they are not taken apart and condemned to a life as a chair cover or converted into cushions and placed beneath the feet of all manner of people. Who has not seen maniples used as curtain loops?1. 1 GUDIOL I CUNILL, In 1925, Father Josep Gudiol2 expressed in these terms his distaste at the ignoble J., “La Indumentària fate of historical items of sanctified clothing and fabric.
