Convening of the Architectural Awards of the Counties of Girona 2016
The Girona branch office of the Architects’ Association of Catalonia is convening the 19th edition of the Architectural Awards of the Counties of Girona, with the aim of evaluating the architecture carried out within the branch’s region, in order to demonstrate the quality and precision of its professionals.
Work submitted for the Awards can represent different levels of scale and varieties in the type of intervention or environment, and will be assigned to one of the following three categories: Architecture, Exterior Spaces and Temporary Spaces.
This year, the Jury judging the projects will be chaired by the architect Andrew Groarke (United Kingdom), along with members Ramon Sanabria i Boix (Barcelona), Claudi Aguiló i Aran (Barcelona) and Lídia Parada i Soler (Figueres), accompanied by a member of the current Board of the Girona branch of the COAC, acting as secretary without vote.
The awards will be:
Jury Awards: The Jury will bestow an award per category: Architecture, Exterior Spaces and Temporary Spaces.
Opinion Award: The works selected by the Jury will compete for the 'Opinion Award for Culture and Industry', where professionals in cultural and communication management, on the one hand, and those from technical research and industrial production, on the other, will choose one of the works to be given the award.
The deadline for submitting proposals is March 1, 2016.
Any queries or clarifications regarding the Awards should be directed to the Girona branch's Department of Culture. Tel. (+34) 972 412 892 / Email: cultura.gir@coac.cat

Works of art from the COAC's Historical Archive to be exhibited at Can Framis
From 18 January until 3 April the exhibition 'Una col·lecció per a un viatge. Promoció d’arquitectes Barcelona 1960' (Collection for a trip. Barcelona architects 1960) can be visited at the Vila Casas Foundation’s Can Framis Museum.
The show recalls the amazing initiative shown in 1960 by students of the 85th graduating class of ETSAB, the Barcelona School of Architecture, asking for assistance from the artists of the day by which, through donating their work, the necessary money could be generated to pay for their end-of-course trip.
There was an enormous response and 144 artists from 22 different countries selflessly gave their work to form a unique collection. To grasp the importance of this collection, it only suffices to mention the contribution of artists such as Miró, Calder, Cocteau, Dix, Guinovart, Tàpies, Fontana and Morandi, amongst others, or architects such as Gropius, Neutra and Gio Ponti.
The final fate of the works was meant to be their exhibition and sale at the Galeria Joan Gaspar, but the rapid intervention of the architect Antoni de Moragas with the approval of the COAC’s Governing Board enabled the unique collection to be purchased and kept together, to be exhibited for a time at the Association’s new headquarters. Later on, it was deposited in the Historical Archive where it has remained to this day.
On display at the show there will also be three editions of the journal Quaderns d'arquitectura i urbanisme (1960, 1968 and 2007) and the album of the students’ trip put together by Raimon Torres, and lent by the COAC's Library.
