This publication is a 326-page collection dedicated to the forty-year history of the architectural firm GCA Architects. The firm is based in Barcelona and was founded in 1986 by Josep Juanpere and Antonio Puig.
The collection features a selection of nineteen works, most of which date back to the last fifteen years. These projects showcase the company's practice in corporate, hotel, and residential architecture.
The architecture of GCA Architects is characterized by the integration of construction and interior design into a single project, paying close attention to details and materiality. The firm's history is closely linked to the development of Barcelona, which became a recognized industry benchmark after the Olympic Games.
The projects, located predominantly in Barcelona, cover almost all types and scales: from corporate towers such as Puig T1 and T2 to office buildings like Cuatrecasas or Aragó 330. Among the realized projects are The Mirror Hotel, residential buildings at Passeig de Gràcia 93 or Ausiàs March 49, as well as cultural spaces and foundations, including Castell de Peralada and Fundació Bofill, and St. Paul's School and Sea Towers in the 22@ district.
These large-scale urban works have adopted new construction requirements, such as energy efficiency, renaturalization, and passive climate control, integrating them into their own working methodology.
