"Although circumstances have led me to make a living doing comedy programs, both on radio and on television, I always thought that my frustrated vocation was to be an architect."
This is how Òscar Dalmau, the celebrated television presenter, explains the passion that has led him to photograph thousands of pieces of architecture and applied arts from Barcelona during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. This guide goes through the city of Barcelona via the retro architecture that Dalmau has immortalized with his camera. From architects such as Antoni Bonet Castellana, Josep Lluís Sert, José Antonio Coderch, or Ricardo Bofill to ceramists and sculptors like Antoni Cumella, Eduald Serra, or Pau Macià i Pons, these pages parade buildings, sculptures, sgraffito works, ceramic murals, and an endless legacy of creators, some well-known and others not so much, who marked an entire era.
