{"product_id":"tc-176-gca-architects","title":"TC Cuadernos No. 176: GCA Architects","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis issue brings together, in 326 pages, forty years of work by the Barcelona-based studio GCA Architects, founded in 1986 by Josep Juanpere and Antonio Puig, through a selection of nineteen works – most of them from the last decade and a half – that cover their practice in corporate, hotel and residential architecture. An architecture that integrates building and interior design in the same project, attentive to materiality and detail, and a trajectory that has grown with the Barcelona that emerged from the Olympic years to consolidate itself as a benchmark practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated mostly in Barcelona, the works cover almost all types and scales: from corporate towers – Torre Puig T1 and T2 – to offices such as Cuatrecasas or Aragó 330; from the Hotel The Mirror to the house at Passeig de Gràcia 93 or Ausiàs March 49; from facilities and foundations – Castell de Peralada, Fundació Bofill – to the school architecture of St. Paul's School or the Sea Towers of 22@. Architectures of great magnitude and urban character that have incorporated the new requirements of construction – energy efficiency, renaturation, passive air conditioning – to make them part of their method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs usual in the collection, each work is presented with extensive graphic documentation – plans, sections and construction details redrawn for the occasion – accompanied by photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe introduction by the critic Magda Mària places GCA in the wake of the best Catalan architecture of the twentieth century and underlines its skill, rationality and aesthetic sense. The issue closes with an In Memoriam to Josep Juanpere, co-founder of the studio, who died during its preparation, with a text by Carlos Ferrater.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"general de ediciones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53865084322058,"sku":"8722","price":47.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/6008\/6538\/files\/Untitleddesign_60.png?v=1791296019","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.riai.ie\/fr\/products\/tc-176-gca-architects","provider":"RIAI Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
