这是由Roldán + Berengué设计的加泰罗尼亚经济学研究所。这个巴塞罗那的经济学研究所加泰罗尼亚新总部位于Gal•la Placídia广场尽端，毗邻奥古斯塔，用地面积380平方米（1247平方英尺），沿街面达32米长（105英尺）。广场改造完成后，场地将可俯瞰整齐的林荫树阵。该项目的设计对城市开放，从而有助欣赏建筑自身。

这个建筑的设计成为了城市的一部分，它被称为“垂直广场”。这意味着在这里工作的经济学家们可俯瞰广场，同时广场的行人可仰视他们。因此建筑每一层都设有门廊，从而每一个在总部来访或者工作的人都能享受到美妙的视野以及来自南边的阳光。垂直广场不仅仅是社交的场所，也是一个给人了解该机构的地方。

[…the casual architecture of the ‘El Caspolino’ fair converted it into a place which opened to its surroundings, a natural continuation of the street or plaza, so contrary to the many cultural centers which are closed and impermeable to the outside…El País newspaper, March 22, 2005]

The new headquarters of the Catalan Institute of Economists of Barcelona occupies a narrow site with 380 m² (1,247 ft²) of surface area and 32 meters (105 ft.) of street frontage at the far end of the Plaza Gal•la Placídia adjacent to Via Augusta. Once the urban reformation of the plaza is completed, the site will overlook a pedestrian space of 145 x 45 meters with trees, and will be bordered by the formerly mentioned street. The parcel, which was occupied since the 1940’s with the attractions of the ‘El Caspolino’ fair, is situated at the border between the neighborhoods of Gràcia and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi in the upper zone of the city of Barcelona.

The design of the new headquarters of the Catalan Institute of Economists is based on the action of opening and enjoying the architecture. The idea is to make the city open.

The building we have designed, since its beginnings, has had the capacity to be a piece of the city. It is what we call a “vertical square”. What does calling a building a vertical square mean?

It means that from here the economists look down onto the square, and the pedestrians of the square look up to them. It means that each floor, like a gallery, has a foyer on the façade so that all who arrive and work at the headquarters enjoy the views and the southern sunlight of the square. The vertical square is not only a place to socialize; it is also an opportunity to give visibility to the institution that it houses.

The vestibule space, in addition to being the social heart of the building, is also a climatic buffer which uses the tradition of the galleries of the architecture of Barcelona.
