We also recommend you see the selected projects for the exhibition mentioned in the previously mentioned article.
Grafting Architecture. Catalonia at Venice.
Graft
1 1 v. tr. To insert (a graft) in a branch or stem of another tree; to propagate by insertion in another stock; also, to insert a graft upon.
Casa Bofarull by Josep Maria Jujol (Tarragona, 1879 – Barcelona, 1949) is the starting point for understanding an architectural approach present in many buildings where the architect is faced with a pre-existing feature (physical or otherwise) and blends the new and old layers to beget a new architecture that can combine them harmoniously. The proposal will illustrate the process and perception of a series of examples of Catalan architecture, beginning with Jujol's work.
