Of this collective ritual, the only material legacy that tells its story is a series of small books, known as llibrets de falla, published by each of the city's festive associations. Thus, within the framework of the project El llibret de falla: una oportunitat cultural, the aim was to build an ephemeral architecture that would act as a temporary library, archiving some of these llibrets de falla: those that had had outstanding value within the history of the celebration, to make them known. For this reason, those books that different people kept were collected from all those houses and drawers scattered around the city, as well as from different casales, to form part of this temporary library, treating each llibret de falla as a jewel, with its own space. study.
