COAC Elections 2018
As on previous occasions, voting will be done electronically. Each member will be provided with the credentials to exercise their right to vote either remotely, from any device connected to the Internet (computer, smartphone or tablet), or in person at any of the Association’s offices.
To facilitate the process, members who have already logged their email address and smartphone number with the COAC can get their credentials online without having to collect them at their corresponding office.
If you cannot get your credentials online, you can collect them in person after 25 April at your corresponding office. To obtain your accreditation you need to present your DNI or any other form of photo ID.
To keep everyone updated on the elections, a special section has been set up on the website which includes all the information you need to take part: schedule, voting requirements, voting system, information on candidates, regulations, and a help section to answer any queries.
Exhibition: ‘Vanished Architectures’
On the occasion of Architecture Week, in collaboration with the COAC Historical Archive, the exhibition ‘Vanished Architectures’ aims to showcase a series of architectural works at different points in the city that cannot be visited today, either because they have now disappeared or because they have undergone considerable transformation.

Architecture Week 2018
Over this ten-day period, and within the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage, the city will become the epicentre of a broad range of activities related to the world of architecture and the city, with the purpose of helping to reinforce people’s awareness of the value of their built surroundings. The overriding aim is to give the general public a closer insight into the city’s design and disseminate the values of architecture, urban planning and engineering.
There is no question that Barcelona’s architecture is one of its most valuable assets. Architecture forms the basis of the physical space in which Barcelona’s citizens carry out their lives, and for this reason Architecture Week aims to reinforce this essential bond between architecture and people. The COAC hopes to encourage people to consider and value their cities’ built surroundings through a series of events which will shine a spotlight on architectural activities, knowledge, experience and debate.
With the support of other entities and institutions, a packed programme of events has been planned featuring exhibitions, conferences, film screenings, guided tours and installations to highlight architecture in every district.
Arquitectours. 10 days/10 districts undergoing urban renewal
Over the years, various urban renewal projects, such as the Cerdà Plan, the housing estates of the 1960s, and the Olympic Village, have shaped the city as we know it today. Future projects, such as the Superilles programme, aim to continue improving quality of life in the city. These 10 itineraries aim to make these projects and other urban renewal interventions known as well as to highlight our built heritage.
Exhibition: 'Vanished Architecture'
The city is a living showcase that exhibits the work of many generations of architects. Walking along the streets you can see the different styles, uses, social values and imprints that have defined the city’s fabric.
On the occasion of Architecture Week, in collaboration with the COAC Historical Archive, the exhibition ‘Vanished Architecture’ aims to showcase a series of architectural works at different points in the city that cannot be visited today, either because they have now disappeared or because they have undergone considerable transformation.

Escuela de Verano. Las claves del diseño de espacios comerciales
El martes 26 de junio empieza el curso "Las claves del diseño de espacios comerciales", dirigido por la arquitecta Cristina Carvajal.
Una formación muy práctica
Cada sesión del curso se basa en 1 hora de teoría y 3 horas de workshop. En la primera parte un experto plantea los contenidos y, en la segunda, los estudiantes trabajan en grupos en una propuesta que acabarán exponiendo a sus compañeros y, de esta forma, generando nuevos contenidos a partir de su feedback.
En esta línea, la última sesión estará dedicada a la visita a un showroom. Los alumnos podrán observar, analizar y criticar lo que se ha tratado en clase.
¿A quién va dirigido?
El curso está enfocado tanto a arquitectos como a otros profesionales del sector o estudiantes que tengan interés en formarse en el diseño de espacios comerciales.
El contenido
La formación proporcionará a los participantes múltiples herramientas para optimizar el entorno de los espacios comerciales, dar continuidad y movimiento al punto de venta y conocer visiones creativas sobre los escaparates, entre muchas otras.
A lo largo de las 6 sesiones del curso se tratarán las siguientes temáticas:
1. Tendencias y estrategias en retail
2. Layout - recorridos
3. Lighting - luz y color
4. Escaparatismo y Visual Merchandising
5. Branding - marca
6. Salida a un showroom
Recordamos que, como en el resto de cursos de la Escuela de Verano, los colegiados tendrán un descuento adicional del 50%.
