Cuadernos de arquitectura y urbanismo

Cuadernos de arquitectura y urbanismo is a Spanish architecture and urbanism journal published by the Col·legi Oficial d'Arquitectes de Catalunya i Balears (the Official College of Architects of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands). It first appeared in 1944 under the Spanish-language title Cuadernos de Arquitectura, with Cèsar Martinell and Manuel de Solà-Morales as its first editors. The publication was initially focused on the eclectic movement, carrying articles on the work of architects and engineers such as Alomar, Cirici, Cirlot and Bohigas, and it produced monographic issues devoted to figures and groups including Domènech i Montaner in 1963 and the ADLAN group in 1970. Between 1944 and 1970 the journal was known as Cuadernos de Arquitectura (ISSN 0011-2364). In 1970 it changed its name to Cuadernos de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, reflecting a broadened scope that embraced urbanism alongside architecture. Publication was interrupted between 1977 and 1981; when it resumed in 1981, after a brief four-year hiatus, it adopted its Catalan-language title, Quaderns d'Arquitectura i Urbanisme. The journal has since been closely associated with Catalan architectural culture and with the professional institution that owns it. The publication is a product brand of the architects' association rather than a standalone commercial company. Its editorial identity has been shaped by its role as an institutional review: it documents built work, theoretical debates and urban questions, and it has served as a platform for Catalan and Spanish architectural discourse across decades. Its official web presence is hosted by the association at coac.net/quaderns, and its issue summaries are indexed by Dialnet.

Cuadernos de arquitectura y urbanismo began in 1944 as Cuadernos de Arquitectura, a journal published by the Col·legi Oficial d'Arquitectes de Catalunya i Balears. Its first editors were Cèsar Martinell and Manuel de Solà-Morales. In its early decades the review specialized in the eclectic movement, publishing articles on the work of architects and engineers including Alomar, Cirici, Cirlot and Bohigas. It also issued monographic numbers, such as the 1963 issue dedicated to Domènech i Montaner and the 1970 issue devoted to the ADLAN group. From 1944 to 1970 the journal carried the title Cuadernos de Arquitectura (ISSN 0011-2364). In 1970 it was renamed Cuadernos de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, a change that signalled an expanded editorial remit covering urbanism as well as architecture. Publication was interrupted between 1977 and 1981. When it returned in 1981, after a brief four-year pause, it adopted the Catalan title Quaderns d'Arquitectura i Urbanisme, the name under which it has since been known. The journal's official website is hosted by the association at coac.net/quaderns, and its issue summaries are indexed by Dialnet.
