Abstract

<p> This paper explores architectures by G.A.T.C.P.A.C. who contributed the modernization of city and architectures in Catalonia, Spain in order to analyse especially residential functioned architectures and discover how the architectural design concept by G.A.T.C.P.A.C. was integrated the design essence of traditional local Spanish houses into their architectural design.</p><p> </p><p> Firstly by examining “A.C.”, journals published by G.A.T.C.P.A.C., it was confirmed that there are 43 architectural design projects proposed by G.A.T.C.P.A.C. and among them the residential functioned projects were counted as 23, which is the largest numbers among all the projects. From the site location point of view, all the projects locate in Catalonia area and the Balearic Islands near Catalonia. Furthermore it was also identified that more than half of the projects are located in Barcelona.</p><p> </p><p> Secondly 2 residential projects are carefully chosen in terms of space analysis, especially looking into semi outdoor space and openings, which are often found in architectures by G.A.T.C.P.A.C. Also the different site aspects are taken into consideration;</p><p> One is “Apartment House on Muntaner Street” that was constructed at New City area in Barcelona and the other is “Casa Bloc” that was constructed at the surrounding area of New City on the contrary. “Apartment House on Muntaner Street” was one of the earlier projects by G.A.T.C.P.A.C. and “Casa Bloc” is a large apartment house project for workers that G.A.T.C.P.A.C. had especially given the importance through their projects as one of the social problems.</p><p> </p><p> By analysing those 2 projects as well as referring to traditional local Spanish houses, often appeared on A.C., 2 design features below are clarified as a result;</p><p> 1, Rational architectural feature for the allocation of openings and room composition, which are fundamentally equipped in traditional local houses at the Mediterranean Sea area, based on the climate condition. This feature would be naturally equipped since lighting and shading need to be considered simultaneously under the strong Mediterranean sunshine in Spain.</p><p> 2, Lyrical architectural feature for the sequential planning, such as surrounding area - semi outdoor space (court yard, front garden and terrace) – living space, which naturally matches with local people’s life style. This is because it was essential for Catalan people, who lived in the limited inner space, to have shared public space in order to take mental comfort (“pleasure” and “rest”).</p>
