Abstract

25 years ago, Barcelona organised Olympic Games under coob leadership. Design policy and results adopted then really impressed internationally. It might be considered an early example of design management good practices. Design policy concerned iconic buildings as much as humble designs of visual signs, signals, sport devices, tools and even souvenirs. The aim of this article is to display this policy as explained first hand by one of its managers, Mr Jaume Masferrer, then a very young member of coob. It is thus an exercise of collection data through oral history applied to Design Management.
