Christmas comes to the COAC: Program of activities for children
From December 21 until January 3, the COAC will host a series of workshops aimed at children over 6 years old, in order to bring them closer to architecture.
Workshops on December 21 and 22 and January 2 will be based on large-scale construction with Kapla, consisting of rectangular wooden pieces of the same size that allow amazing constructions.
On the other hand, on December 30 and January 3, the workshops will be based on drawing 'Barcelona Stories'. The pictures made by all the participants will provide an original look at the history of the city.
Check the schedules for the five workshops and enroll your children here.
Workshops are free for COAC members.
"La arquitectura de la biblioteca", más accesible
Esta obra, escrita por el arquitecto Santi Romero y agotada en papel, se puede descargar de forma gratuita en su versión digital desde el web de Publicaciones.
La obra de Romero, jefe de la unidad de Arquitectura Bibliotecaria de la Diputación de Barcelona, fue publicada en papel por última vez en la colección Papers Sert del COAC 2008.
El libro pretende ser un instrumento para planificar y proyectar de forma integral una biblioteca, a partir del trabajo común entre arquitectos, bibliotecarios y usuarios.
Se trata de una monografía basada en la realidad bibliotecaria del país, que llena el vacío existente en cuanto a publicaciones especializadas en este tema.

Follow the 'YES to Architecture' campaign
In the context of the preparation of the LCSP (Law on Professional Associations and Services), the Architects' Association of Catalonia has been working in order to support architecture and reveal the social role of architects. To this end, the COAC has made two videos, for which we are asking your help to disseminate.
The first video, What it is to be an Architect, is a Catalan adaptation of an original production by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), which was presented last June and is already proving to be a great success on social networks, where it has already been viewed 2,900 times. The other video sums up the YES to Architecture campaign, and has been visited over 1,800 times.
You can also download the YES to Architecture logo and use it as your screensaver or send it to your friends.
