This exhibition offers a particular vision of architectural production in Catalonia since 1968. The singularity lies in the fact of limiting the study to architectures that do not physically exist but nonetheless help us understand present-day reality in all its complexity. We invite you to reflect on our society on the basis of architectures that have disappeared in the course of time or were never materialized in the first place.

The great majority are ideal projects that never got off the architect’s drawing board. Others are projects that have changed as a result of being altered or demolished, or are ephemeral architecture projects conceived for a brief existence: among these, set designs form a group apart by virtue of their specific logic and clearly differentiated conditioning factors.
