Auction: 99+ Imaginaris

The la capell Cooperative in collaboration with the Enric Miralles Foundation presents the auction of architectural drawings of the exhibition "99+ Imaginaris", an exhibition framed in Model. Barcelona Architecture Festival.

The drawings at auction have been devised by architects of different generations and origins and project fragments of a future Barcelona. With imagination and radical optimism, these artistic pieces deploy innovative architectures that allow us to redefine the conditions of the present and, with this, open up the possibility of different, m equitable and fair futures.

The online auction that you will find on this page will be open until June 22 at 3 p.m.

You can see all the drawings at the end of the explanation about how the auction works. To find out m is about the Model Festival of Architectures click In here

How does the auction work?


All drawings have an initial price of 100 euros, with increments of 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 and 500 euros. The amount does not include shipping costs.

40% of the profits extracted from cada drawing (with a total maximum m of €300) will go to the authors of the drawings and the rest of the amount will contribute to the creation of a grant that will support emerging voices of all ages and nationalities dedicated to the production of experimental architecture. The authors of the drawings can donate the entire amount to the creation of the scholarship.
On Wednesday, June 22 at 3 p.m., the online auction will be closed and visitors to the exhibition will be offered the opportunity to bid for the works.

Finally, on Wednesday, June 22 at 7 p.m., the closing party of the exhibition "99+ Imaginaries" will lloc at the Enric Miralles Foundation (Passatge de la Pau n.10 in Barcelona). During the closing event, open to all citizens, the auction will experience a new face-to-face stage in which it will be given the opportunity to bid in person for 10 of the drawings in the exhibition selected by the curators Eva Franch and Josep Maria Montaner.

08014 arquitectura, Sandra Torres, Adrià Guardiet: 49 Respiralls

No creiem que la construcció d’’escenaris futurs per a la ciutat de Barcelona’ s’hagi de fer a través d’utopies de traç gruixut, sinó al contrari, mitjançant la detecció i actualització de les bones pràctiques del nostre passat.
El context actual fa inajornable rescatar coneixements enterrats per una versió ‘de saldo’ de la modernitat. Són prou emblemàtiques, per exemple, les cambres ventilades i galeries de l’arquitectura residencial barcelonina, que van resistir fins als anys 40, quan es van imposar nous sistemes constructius menys costosos en temps i diners.
Un d’aquests elements era la coberta ventilada, o ‘a la catalana’, formada per dos forjats, un interior, horitzontal, de biguetes de fusta i revoltons ceràmics i l’altre exterior, amb una pendent del 6 al 8%, format per tres gruixos de maó de pla sobre envanets de sostremort.
La cambra d’aire quedava ventilada a través de dues façanes oposades, establint-se corrents creuades que evitaven la transmissió d’humitats i de la calor per radiació a l’interior de l’edifici. Aquestes ventilacions es formalitzaven a través de respiralls: la cara visible d’aquest sistema de control passiu, actualment en desús.
Els respiralls, integrats en els coronaments de façana de l’arquitectura residencial barcelonina de finals del s.XIX i primers del XX, no només revelen l’existència d’una coberta ‘a la catalana’ sinó que esdevenen un registre sofisticat d’un lloc i un temps: ordre i ornament, producció industrial i artesania; raons materials, tecnològiques, termodinàmiques; ideologia política, estatus social.
‘49 respiralls’ és un recull d’urgència realitzat en tres passejades els dies 23, 24 i 25 d’abril de 2022, fotografiant per després redibuixar sobre una matriu de 7x7, els respiralls de 49 edificis residencials construïts entre 1857 i 1936, situats dins d’un radi de 500m del nostre estudi, al barri d’Hostafrancs. Una mirada específica que ens revela aspectes genèrics de l’arquitectura de la nostra ciutat i de la societat que la va promoure, esdevenint un antídot contra la desmemòria i desvetllant el camí cap a una arquitectura i una ciutat més sostenibles.

We don’t believe that constructing future scenarios for the city of Barcelona should be carried out via broad utopian ideas, but rather the opposite, through detecting and updating good practices from our past.
The current context means knowledge buried by modernity’s ‘bargain’ version should be recovered without delay. For example, the airy rooms and galleries of Barcelona’s residential architecture were emblematic enough to survive until the 1940s, when new construction systems were imposed, as they were less costly in terms of time and money.
One of these elements was the ventilated, or ‘a la Catalana’ roof, which consisted of two coverings, a horizontal, interior covering, made from wooden beams with ceramic joists, and an exterior covering, on a 6% to 8% gradient, made up of three layers of flat bricks on cockloft slight wand.
The chamber of air was ventilated by means of two opposing façades, establishing cross air currents that prevented the transmission of humidity and radiated heat into the building’s interior. This cross ventilation was furthered by vents: the visible side of this passive control system, which is no longer in use.
The vents, integrated into the coping of the façades of Barcelona’s residential architecture at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, not only show the existence of an ‘a la Catalana’ roof, but also become a sophisticated registry for a time and place: order and ornament, industrial and craftwork production; material reasons, technologies, thermodynamics; political ideology, social status.
’49 vents’ is a rapid-fire compilation carried out during three walks on 23, 24 and 25 April 2022, taking photographs, which were later redrawn on a 7x7 matrix, of the vents in 49 residential buildings constructed between 1857 and 1936, located within a 500m radius of our studio, in the neighbourhood of Hostafrancs. A specific perspective that tells us about generic aspects of our city’s architecture and the society that promoted it, becoming an antidote against loss of memory and opening the way towards a more sustainable architecture and city.
