Our society must urgently and energetically address the problem of lack of housing. This entails having to act simultaneously on several fronts, aligning the efforts of institutional, social, professional and business sectors to achieve shared objectives.

One of these objectives is to promote the construction of new housing, taking advantage of all the instruments at our disposal.

The modernist gardens of the former Sant Boi de Llobregat asylum, built between 1903 and 1912, and forgotten for more than 100 years by historiography, contain architecture that anticipates or is contemporary with Gaudí’s last great works, thus formalizing the hyperbolic structures of the Sagrada Família (1915-1921), the serpentine bench of Park Güell (1910-1914), formal aspects of Casa Milà (1906-1912) and architectural compositions of the Güell colony (1908-1914) and Casa Batlló (1904-1906).

METRONOM will review public collective housing projects on which it has worked.Most of them are competitions they did not win (“many attempts”). They will also talk about a project they came close to completing (“a monkey”) and will go into detail about the one they are currently building: 35 social housing units in Molins de Rei for IMPSOL (“a castle”), with an expected completion date of June 2026.

Within the cultural programming of the Tarragona Demarcation of the College of Architects of Catalonia (COAC) we have the opportunity to listen to the conference “Bioclimatic Architecture” offered by Luca Volpi of Societat Orgànica, which will focus on the cooperative’s experience in defining and applying passive design strategies to architectural projects during the last 20 years of professional activity.
