Description
This volume explores one of the Architects’ Association of Catalonia’s most iconic elements: Picasso’s friezes and murals, a landmark of Barcelona’s artistic and architectural heritage. The book situates the murals within their cultural context, examines their formal and constructive development, and presents new insights drawn from the historical and technical study of the Picasso–Nesjar friezes undertaken for their restoration. Together, these chapters reveal the murals not merely as artworks, but as enduring expressions of memory, experimentation, and architectural conservation.
