Casa Bloc

The Casa Bloc is a residential building built between 1932 and 1936 in the Sant Andreu district of the city of Barcelona. Its architects were Josep Lluís Sert, Josep Torres Clavé and Joan Baptista Subirana, all members of GATCPAC. Catalan architects of the Second Republic, brought together by the GATCPAC, proposed a new way of living that was just, accommodated co-existence and defended the collective identity. The creation of Casa Bloc was one of the first steps towards dignifying workers' living conditions.
