Selection of architectural projects which have led to innovation in the social and practical role played by architecture. They are accompanied by contextualising material documenting the design and construction process.
Supported by the latest technologies and adapting to new lifestyles, the architect has always been
an inventor. In Catalonia, the happy combination of rich craft and industrial traditions with
relatively flexible legislation governing design helps to create the environment necessary to lay the foundations for an unusually innovative architectural landscape. Building Patents is a showcase for inventions, for new architectural solutions generated by interaction between the different stakeholders in the construction process, from architects to industrialists, not forgetting users.
