This route invites you to discover these residences while enjoying the Empord\u00e0 municipality and its unique landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The professional careers of these two architects are unusual, as they went from being among the first global architects \u2014in the late 1950s\u2014 to producing ultra-local work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their early days, they worked mainly for the US government, in the context of the Cold War, with the aim of spreading American culture and industry throughout the world. They built pavilions and organised exhibitions from Osaka (Japan) to Montreal (Canada), passing through the main capitals of Europe and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1956, on their way back from a trip to Madrid, and following the advice of their friend <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/en\/authors\/jose-antonio-coderch-de-sentmenat\">Coderch<\/a><\/strong>, they stopped in Cadaqu\u00e9s and were enchanted by the Empord\u00e0 town. This would lead to a change in their professional and personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the late 1950s, this small village on the Catalan coast was almost uninhabited, with many of its buildings half abandoned. The geographical isolation of the town meant that the tourism boom was slow to arrive, but the authenticity of Cadaqu\u00e9s, the uniqueness of Cap de Creus and its special light attracted many leading artists, both national and international. Cadaqu\u00e9s is best known as the residence of Salvador Dal\u00ed, and it is also where Marcel Duchamp spent his summer vacations from 1958 until his death in 1968. These artists were joined by other international figures such as Man Ray, Hamilton, Roth, Cage, Cunningham, Matta and Tinguely, as well as Catalan artists such as R\u00e0fols Casamada, Tharrats, and Corber\u00f3, among others. At that time, Cadaqu\u00e9s became a leading international cultural centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harnden and Bombelli found here a small cultural oasis where they built nine houses, following the criteria of modern architecture, perfectly integrated into the austere and vernacular architecture of the place, which constitute nine lessons in architecture. At that sweet moment in the history of Cadaqu\u00e9s, the architects Coderch and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/en\/authors\/manuel-valls-i-verges\">Valls<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/en\/authors\/correa-mila-arquitectes\">Correa and Mil\u00e1<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/en\/authors\/francisco-juan-barba-corsini\">Barba Corsini<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/en\/authors\/robert-terradas-i-via\">Terradas i Via<\/a><\/strong> also built houses.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-custom\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"m&#039;agrada\" data-post-id=\"3303\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"no\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                            <img src=\"https:\/\/editorial.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/heart-like.png\" alt=\"m&#039;agrada\" \/>\r\n            <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">5    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"no m&#039;agrada\" data-post-id=\"3303\" data-trigger-type=\"dislike\" data-restriction=\"no\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                            <img src=\"https:\/\/editorial.arquitecturacatalana.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/heart-dislike.png\" alt=\"no m&#039;agrada\" \/>\r\n            <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\"><\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harnden and Bombelli found here a small cultural oasis where they built nine houses, following the criteria of modern architecture, perfectly integrated into the austere and vernacular architecture of the place, which constitute nine lessons in architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":926,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[120,115,116,121],"propostes":[],"class_list":["post-3303","rutes","type-rutes","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cases-en","tag-estiueig-en","tag-monografic-en","tag-regionalisme-critic-en"],"acf":{"num_ed":3,"author":1751,"works_list":924,"header_background":"gallery","video":null,"gallery":[926],"aquesta_ruta_te_autor":true,"tipus_de_ruta":{"a_peu":true,"amb_bicicleta":true,"amb_cotxe":false},"tipus_de_ruta_per_defecte":"a peu","durada_ruta_per_defecte":"Mig dia","tipus_ruta":[],"destacada_a_home":false,"autors_ruta":"\/coeli\/COAC-PRO\/Actor\/Bombelli,%20Lanfranco","invisibilitzar_la_ruta":false,"app-rutes":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Harnden &amp;
