Intramurs. El bressol de l'arquitectura moderna a Catalunya (1872-1962)

The exhibition Intramurs. El bressol de l'arquitectura moderna a Catalunya (1872-1962) reviews the history of the former Escola d'Arquitectura at the Universitat de Barcelona.

The Universitat de Barcelona hosts this proposal focused on the origins of modern Catalan architecture and the role played by the former Escola d'Arquitectura. The display is located in the Edifici Històric of the UB, the very place where architecture studies were taught for almost a century. Visitors can tour preserved rooms and spaces such as the library, the director's office and the teaching staff quarters through exhibition materials, photographs and guided tours.

The exhibition route spans from the foundation of the school under the direction of Elies Rogent to the urban development of the 20th century, and includes original documents and blueprints. Likewise, the exhibition dedicates a prominent space to Antoni Gaudí, a former student of the institution, as well as to the educational background of key figures in the shaping of modern Barcelona such as Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
