1960 - 2009Headquarters of the Institut Amatller d'Art Hispànic
The director of the Institut Amatller d’Art Hispànic Josep M. Gudiol, directs the interventions to convert the former home of the Amatllers into the institution’s headquarters. All the actions that are made are reversible, in order to respect the great architectural work of Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
The main plant is intervened:
- Modernist furniture and art collections are concentrated in the old dormitories
- Book shelves are installed on all possible walls, such as the beautiful fireplace in the living room or the old plate holder
- Antoni Amatller’s old office becomes an archive of negatives
- The dining room becomes the researchers’ reading room
