La Ricarda: : patrimoni del conflicte

Case study of La Ricarda, a family residence designed by Antoni Bonet Castellana, located in El Prat de Llobregat. The study highlights its historical and artistic significance within the framework of Catalan cultural heritage. La Ricarda is an outstanding example of rationalist architecture, and its design and construction during the Francoist regime are examined, considering that the architect was in exile at the time. Additionally, the article explores the connection between Club 49 and La Ricarda, which served as a regular venue for avant-garde artistic events in Barcelona. One of the objectives of the article is to identify La Ricarda as a clear example of "conflict heritage," a conflict that has been intrinsically linked to the history of the residence up to the present day. The study discusses its heritage value, both tangible and intangible, and assesses its relationship with the local community and the general public. Finally, La Ricarda is proposed as a methodological case study to enable university anthropology students to develop sociocultural engagement strategies. The methodology employed in the article is based on qualitative research techniques.
