Josep Antoni Coderch
Josep Antoni Coderch i de Sentmenat (born November 26, 1913 in Barcelona , † November 6, 1984 in Barcelona) was a Spanish architect .
After graduating from architecture school in Barcelona, Coderch developed his own concept for the design of residential buildings.
In the 1950s he built the Spanish pavilion for the design exhibition IX Triennale di Milano . In the following decade, Coderch's own "code of architecture" was created. At the same time, his buildings gained increasing recognition and he received awards for the design of a lamp and a chimney.
Coderch became a member of Team 10 , which included Alison Smithson , Peter Smithson , Aldo van Eyck , Giancarlo De Carlo and Jezy Soltan , among others . In the 1960s and 1970s he created an independent style for social housing that won several awards.
Josep Antoni Coderch de Sentmenat died on November 6, 1984 in Barcelona. Numerous books have been published about Coderch's work to this day, most recently in 2008 an extensive volume from the Design Classics series .
