The COAC’s Historical Archive has loaned eight original documents on Gaudí’s work to the Het Schip Museum in Amsterdam for an exhibition entitled ‘Gaudí and the Amsterdam School’, which opened on 2 October.

Seven photographs and a plan, all originals, of some of the most significant works by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, loaned by the Historical Archive of the COAC, will be on display until 1 April 2019 in an exhibition that aims to showcase the similarities between Gaudí and the Amsterdam School. The exhibition includes a drawing of the façade of Barcelona Cathedral by Gaudí, finished by Domènech i Montaner, and other illustrations and photographs of such iconic buildings as Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, the Sagrada Família, Teresianes Convent and Palau Güell.

The documents come mainly from the collections of the Architects’ Association of Catalonia and the Joan Martorell collection, which currently belongs to the COAC’s Historical Archive. The Archive, which boasts more than 2,000,000 documents, loans documents for exhibitions and shows with the aim of showcasing the architects who form part of its collections and their work.
