Parc del Port
On Thursday, September 14, 2023, at 7 p.m., in the COAC Tarragona assembly hall, the “Parc del Port” exhibition will be inaugurated, where we will have the intervention of Saül Garreta Puig, President of the Port of Tarragona, by Jordi J. Romera y Cid, President of the Tarragona Demarcation of the College of Architects of Catalonia and with a conference by the architects who won the competition, where they will explain their proposal.
The exhibition includes the winning project, the four finalists and the rest of the proposals submitted to the ideas contest published by the Port of Tarragona for the urban transformation of the institutional buildings. The idea of the competition was to create a large 8,000 m² urban park around the institutional headquarters and the administrative headquarters of the Tarragona Port Authority that would contribute to improving connectivity with the city of Tarragona and between the Moll de Costa and the Paseo de Miracle, promote sustainable mobility and reduce carbon emissions.
The Tarragona Demarcation of the College of Architects of Catalonia hosts the exhibition "Parc del Port", which can be visited from August 1 to September 29, 2023, in the exhibition hall.

Empty Architectures
Photographic work on some abandoned buildings and constructions throughout the territory of the island of Mallorca, made by the architect and architectural photographer Lluís Bort. These constructions, on many occasions, were erected to fulfill a very specific function and over the years they became obsolete and forgotten. However, this does not mean that they are no longer useful, but that they should have the opportunity to be rehabilitated to enjoy a second life, providing them with a new use for their neighbors and their environment.
Returning to the photographic work, it collects different types of construction, from a hospital that they abandoned when they built a new one on the outskirts of the city; a Majorcan textile factory that was one of the economic engines of the island during the Civil War when Franco's troops bombed the industrial center of Barcelona; to the largest wine cellar on the island that closed in the 90s after 4 extensions.
In the project, each building is presented as an architectural gem against an intense blue and gradient sky that allows the beauty of each of them to be reflected. It seeks to highlight these constructions which were very important for the history of Mallorca, and which are often located in privileged locations, where they would have many guarantees of success if they were converted into new facilities for the cities.
This photographic project began in 2019 and it should be noted that since then adaptation work has begun on some of the buildings photographed, which we hope will allow the building to be recovered and enrich the city with new cultural offerings. With all this, this work wants to show the opportunity to rehabilitate these strategic and abandoned architectures in the Mallorcan territory for new uses such as museums, exhibition halls or neighborhood houses, among others.
Lluís Bort is an architect and architectural photographer and his life has always been linked to the world of photography. He started as part of the photography group L'art de la llum de Onda (Castelló). In it he held his first photographic contests, exhibitions and won several prizes over the years. Currently, he is also involved in teaching courses in Architecture and Landscape Photography at the College of Architects of the Balearic Islands.

Harquitectes, the nature of the buildings
Vernacular architecture, in different cultures and in different climatic conditions, has always incorporated, sometimes very explicitly, architectural strategies to manage and organize fluid matter creating very specific atmospheres (in its broadest sense).

They have also been invited at the Porto Academy, AA School of architecture, Austin School of Architecture, Universidad Católica de Chile, ENSA Paris, Umea school of architecture, among other places.
His work has deserved national and international recognition and has been exhibited and published everywhere.
