The record lists Joan Margarit i Consarnau as Catalan architect and poet.

Joan Margarit i Consarnau was born at Sanaüja in 1938. His recorded nationality is Spain.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
