This guide brings together the most important and
interesting examples of modern and contemporary
architecture in Barcelona. It covers the emergence
of Modernisme and Noucentisme, creative periods
for which Barcelona is known the world over:
the emblematic German Pavilion by Mies van
der Rohe (1929), rationalist works conceived
from the 40s and 50s, large housing projects of
the 70s, the Olympic architecture of the late
80s, post-Olympic architecture, examples of the
ongoing urban redefinition from the 90s, and the
iconic architecture of the 21st century. Each entry
has a brief description that includes planning
and completion dates, a summary explanatory
description, and subsequent restoration
and alterations with a graphic coding system. This updated edition features the most recent
architectural production (up until 2012), including
landmarks such as Jean Nouvel's Agbar tower, the
2004 Forum building by Herzog & de Meuron,
the Media-ICT building by Enric Ruiz Geli,
the Santa Caterina Market by EMBT and the
Diagonal ZeroZero Telefonica Tower by EMBA.
