Who I am: Preserving the legacy of Modernism
My name is Roger Tarrats Balet, and I am the creator and administrator of this digital space.
Since August 2021, this platform has established itself as the Official Website of my great-great-grandfather, the Master Builder Domènec Balet Nadal, dedicated to cataloging and disseminating the architectural and personal heritage of a key figure in the architecture and history of Barcelona.
Our goal is to centralize all historical, academic, and biographical information about Domènec Balet, providing access to verified data for both researchers and art enthusiasts.
Research and Historical Discoveries
This project is not just a static archive, but an ever-evolving investigation that will culminate in the publication of an unprecedented biographical book.
Over these years, we have achieved significant milestones for Catalan heritage:
Location and digitization of original blueprints signed by the architect.
Identification of unknown works, such as the sculpture by Enric Clarasó on the rooftop of the Barcelona Wax Museum.
Collaborations with media outlets (press, radio, and television) that endorse the relevance of this project.
Contact the official source
If you are a researcher, journalist, family member, or simply passionate about architectural heritage, your contribution is essential. We seek to weave a collaborative network to continue expanding this historical tribute.
