Description

The application for construction permission for a building intended for a Ballroom, dated 1910 and designed by the architect Isidre Bosch, preserved in the Cassà de la Selva Municipal Archive, is a textual document of an administrative nature that reflects the urban, social and cultural evolution of Catalonia at the beginning of the 20th century. This document is part of the historical cycle of the 19th and 20th centuries and forms part of the institutional funds generated by the local administration, thus contributing to the typological and fund diversity of the digital resource. Territorially, it provides a concrete vision of the municipality of Cassà de la Selva, within the Girona municipality, and allows to address issues such as historic habitats, town planning and the organization of collective services. The construction of a dance hall evidences the emergence of spaces for sociability and leisure within the urban fabric, driven by a society in transformation that seeks new meeting spaces, cultural expression and modernity. This document is a clear example of how the modernization of Catalan cities and towns aligns with European currents of social, cultural and architectural change.
