“Although circumstances have led me to make a living doing humor programs, both on radio and television, I always thought that my frustrated vocation was to be an architect.”

This is how Òscar Dalmau, the famous television presenter, explains the passion that has led him to photograph thousands of pieces of architecture and applied arts in Barcelona from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. This guide covers the city through the retro architecture that Dalmau has immortalized with his camera. From architects like Antoni Bonet Castellana, Josep Lluís Sert, José Antonio Coderch or Ricardo Bofill to ceramicists and sculptors like Antoni Cumella, Eduald Serra or Pau Macià i Pons, buildings, sculptures, sgraffito, ceramic murals and an endless legacy of creators, some well-known and others not so much, who marked an entire era.
