FERRATER, CARLOS
The Catalan Conference Centre is one of Carlos Ferrater's most recent works, created in collaboration with Jose M. Cartana. This monograph on the building is an exhaustive analysis of the construction process, from the planning phase to its actual completion. The building is divided into three bodies separated from each other by two interior streets that provide natural light for the rooms. The main entrance has an ample vestibule and a hall with an amphitheatre for 2500 conference members. In the central volume, a space which can be subdivided into a multitude of smaller-sized rooms is reserved for more varied uses. The third sector, smaller in size, houses the cafeteria, ancillary services and other offices.
