In short, the spirit of the original project is restored by introducing some modifications such as the change in the type of opening of the windows, from the original sliding and hinges, to oscillating doors and the removal of the crowning finish of the building with a tile cladding extending the glass from the façade to the upper crown, as it already appeared in the model that Busquets had submitted to the 1958 competition. Reinforcing the neutrality of the background, the Picasso’s base is more valued. It consists of maintaining and reinforcing what was most substantial in the original proposal, which was the tension that was established between the monumental platform of the trapezoidal lower body with the Picasso’s sgraffito and the withdrawn body of the office floors. The proposal is a reinterpretation of Xavier Busquets' original project from 1962 and is part of the legacy of modern Catalan architecture.

Special mention should be made of the incorporation of vast documentation from the COAC Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation. It also takes into consideration all the reference sources from the various branches and associated entities with the COAC and other collaborating entities related to the architectural and design fields, in its maximum spectrum. The collection feeds from multiple sources, mainly from the generosity of architectural and photographic studios, as well as the large amount of excellent historical and reference editorial projects, such as architectural guides, magazines, monographs and other publications. Contemporary works of greater general interest will be incorporated, always with a necessary historical perspective, while gradually adding works from our past, with the ambitious objective of understanding a greater documented period. The project is born to make the architecture more accessible both to professionals and to the citizens through a website that is going to be updated and extended. In this first stage, the catalogue focuses on the modern and contemporary architecture designed and built between 1832 –year of construction of the first industrial chimney in Barcelona that we establish as the beginning of modernity– until today.
