Arquitectura Viva 199 - Young Catalonia

Beyond 'diseny'. A toned-down mood, the small scale, a penchant for working on what already exists, and an aesthetic based on materials and sustainability are some of the characteristics of a new generation making headway in Catalan architecture, presented in this issue through a selection of seven works: the Civic Center 1015 in Barcelona by H Arquitectes, Sala Beckett in Barcelona by Flores & Prats, the Montbau Library in Barcelona by Oliveras Boix, the Museum of Climate in Lleida by Toni Gironés, the Mont-Ras Winery in Girona by Jorge Vidal and Víctor Rahola, the House in La Tallada, Girona, by Arquitectura-G, and apartments in Barcelona by MAIO.
