The house that houses the ideas of great architects

The architect Ignacio de Solà-Morales (1942-2001) occupies an exceptional place in the history of Catalan architecture. Due to his dual training in architecture and philosophy, he was also a prominent intellectual. Solà-Morales was a deeply socially committed figure and one of the most internationally renowned architectural critics of his time. Like his career, the management of his legacy also reflects the two aspects of his activity. According to ARA, his children, Oriol, Pau, and Clara—the latter two architects—have donated his archive to two institutions: the theoretical part at the prestigious Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), and the projects and works, including the reconstruction of the Art of an Art of Art by Col'tec at l'Arc de Arte de Colu.
