The book Architects’ Association of Catalonia. 1874-1962 looks back over the first half-century of the Association from its foundation through to its move to Plaça Nova.

According to its authors, architects Enric Granell and Antoni Ramon, the book 'focuses on relating the cultural activities of architects’ associations and at the same time provides a history of Catalan architecture from the perspective of its local associations.' In short, it takes you on a journey through the living history of the collective, represented by a series of well-known names.

The achievements of the men and women who have consolidated the Association show that 'over a century and a half, Catalan architects have understood that they have a role to play in public life and a duty to perform it'.

Taking as a starting point the embryo of the current association, the Architects’ Association of Catalonia, the book covers the almost nine decades of the organization through to its move into the building that Xavier Busquets designed in Plaça Nova, opposite the Cathedral, in 1962.
