The building of the College of Architects of Catalonia in Tarragona, in the same choir of the old part of the city, was entrusted to the architect Rafael Moneo Vallés (Pritzker Prize 1996).

The architecture, the masses of the new building, arise, on the one hand, from the archaeological condition of the site and, on the other, from the need to establish a good relationship with the existing environment. All this implied both respect for the scale and alignments as well as the creation of open spaces that were valued by enhancing their public nature.
