The first in corporate architecture such as Headquarters such as Natura Bissé, Grifols Laboratories, Academy of Medical Sciences of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, ESADE University on the Sant Cugat del Vallés Campus, or the Hotel Antiga Casa Buenavista. The second field is the rehabilitation where the Mandarín Oriental Hotel in Barcelona stands out, the reform of the modernist building Casa Burés, and the reform of the Baroque Palace "Palau Moxó".

This book presents and analyses the career of architect Carlos Ferrater since the creation of his new studio calledÊOAB (Office of Architecture in Barcelona). With the arrival of young architects to the team, Êthe activity of OAB is not only deployed in the execution of construction projects, but how it is also complemented and enriched by going into depth in other fields such as teaching and academic research. OAB draws on the collaborative nature of Carlos FerraterÕs previous studio, incorporating new ways of understanding the contributions of each team member to generate richer, more varied, and flexible projects. Their most relevant projects are the Beach Promenade in Benidorm, the Mandarin Hotel, the Zaragoza-Delicias Station, House A and Roca Barcelona Gallery, among many others.

Analogously, the outer “looks” of the head and its anatomical constituents epitomized deeply embedded worldviews and longstanding traditions. It is in this sense that this book explores both the quotidian r...
Amb un enfocament crític i de gran angular, Roger Vinton estira els fils adequats per descosir les versions oficials i posar al descobert els orígens i els moviments d'alguns dels lobbys empresarials i familiars amb més poder del nostre país.
