Grandson, son and father of architects, renowned professor and honoured urban planner, Manuel Ribas Piera was the foremost promoter of international relations at the Barcelona School of Architecture, inviting the best known architects of the time (such as Stirling, Kleihues and Aymonino), and co-founder, with Giancarlo de Carlo, of the ILAUD programme (International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design). He set up the pioneering landscape architecture studies in Catalunya, now an international point of reference. His overt cosmopolitanism went hand in hand with a staunch commitment to the city of Barcelona, at metropolitan and local level, as shown by plans for Bellvitge and El Carmel, and his openly voiced disagreement with some political decisions. For all of these reasons, we thank him posthumously for his great skill, his friendship, his culture, his generosity, his tenacity and his example. ; Peer Reviewed

[EN] İstanbul owns a historical texture rich in architecture, culture, and memory, which are seen in very few metropolises. This city, which has undergone many changes due to social, political, and cultural reasons, has begun to lose its many important values day by day. The biggest reason for this is that the city is culturally vibrant, so that it is desired to be transformed into a source of political income. However, solutions that will strengthen the current situation of İstanbul as a whole and ensure its continuation on solid foundations should be determined and implemented. In this study, Beyoğlu district is considered as the pilot area, one of the rare regions that this wealth has survived to the present day. The first aim of this study is to determine the reasons and purposes for the unnecessary reconstructions of historical buildings located in Beyoğlu, far from their original look, so-called facadism. The second aim of this study is to identify the changes made on the facades in terms of culture and memory and propose suggestions by using photographing, literature review, and analysis with collage methods. In the study, three of the selected four buildings are located on İstiklal street, the other one on Sıraselviler street, two places where the rapid structural/architectural identity transformation in the last 15-20 years can be seen most clearly. As a result of this study, it has been determined that the functions of historical buildings are being degenerated. Their facades are only kept as masks, and the architectural memory is devolved in this way. ; [CA] Istanbul posseeix una textura històrica rica en arquitectura, cultura i memòria, que es veu en molt poques metròpolis. Aquesta ciutat, que ha patit molts canvis per motius socials, polítics i culturals, ha començat a perdre dia a dia els seus molts i importants valors. La raó més gran és que la ciutat és culturalment vibrant, per la qual cosa es desitja transformar-la en una font d'ingressos polítics. No obstant això, cal determinar i aplicar ...

[EN] During the last decades of the eighteenth century, the Valencian architect and academic Vicent Gascó Masot (1734 – 1802) designed different works for the city of Xàtiva (Valencia), renamed at the time as Colonia Nueva de San Felipe. His actions give a good account of the needs related to urban planning and public works of a populous urban nucleus at the end of the Old Regime, and of the control exercised on said aspects from the academic and governmental instances. Similarly, these works can be interpreted as significant pieces in Gascó's architectural production, representative of his way of doing in the dual facet of academic architect (bridges of the Montesa river and Carnssers cliff, portes del Lleó and the Banys) and expert in hydraulic (siphon of the Santa irrigation canal). In the following pages we try to approach the knowledge of these works from these two prisms. ; [CA] Durant les darreres dècades del segle XVIII, l'arquitecte i acadèmic valencià Vicent Gascó Masot (1734 – 1802) projectà distintes obres per a la ciutat de Xàtiva (València), rebatejada a l'època com Colonia Nueva de San Felipe. Les seues actuacions donen bon conter de les necessitats relatives a l'urbanisme i l'obra pública d'un nucli urbà populós en les acaballes de l'Antic Règim, i del control exercit sobre dits aspectes des de les instàncies acadèmiques i governatives. D'igual forma, aquestes obres poden ser interpretades com a peces significatives en la producció arquitectònica de Gascó, representatives de la seua manera de fer en la doble faceta d'arquitecte acadèmic (ponts del riu de Montesa i barranc dels Carnissers, portes del Lleó i els Banys) i expert en hidràulica (sifó de la sèquia Santa). En les següents pàgines tractem d'acostar-nos al coneixement de dites obres des d'aquests dos prismes. ; [ES] Durante las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII, el arquitecto y académico valenciano Vicent Gascó Masot (1734-1802) proyectó distintas obras por la ciudad de Xàtiva (Valencia), rebautizada en la época como Colonia Nueva de San ...

This paper describes the steps undertaken by the Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB) to standardize criteria for describing and analysing the content of municipal museums' humanities heritage collections. The project began with an initial analysis, which led to a series of proposals based on documentation standards. These proposals were then examined with the museums in various work sessions. The result is a handbook of documentation guidelines and criteria that can be applied in all museums. At the same time, a work plan was made to adopt as a reference a Catalan translation of the Art & Architecture Thesaurus. The Catalan government's Directorate General for Cultural Heritage is responsible for the translation. Finally, the paper analyses the importance of this process of standardization in the context of new challenges for the dissemination of museum heritage online: Europeana and Linked Open Data.

Since they appeared, the studies of Science, Technology & Society (STS) have been interested in education as the key to help the citizens of tomorrow to participate in the discussions dealing with the future of technoscience. In Spain, the STS subjects became part of the secondary school programs since the educational reform. Nevertheless, the analysis of the textbooks used in Catalonia shows that a deterministic vision of science & technology - both of them thought as entities with their own logic of development, independent from social reality - coexists with a neutralistic conception, which considers technoscience as a basic tool that can be used by humanity either in a correct or an incorrect way. The student has the perception that science & technology shape the social reality, but that are somehow independent from society.
