Joaquim Gomis photographed La Ricarda - his brother's house in El Prat del Llobregat, designed by Antoni Bonet - while it was being built. Once it was finished, he also documented the cultural soirées that were held there. Decades later, the sculptor Magels Landet captured details from the house when it was no longer inhabited and had become a legend of architectural and cultural modernity from the Barcelona of the 1960s.
