Extrait :

The CaixaForum Social and Cultural Centre is housed in one of Barcelona’s chief Art Nouveau buildings: a striking textile factory that stands as a unique example of Catalan Art Nouveau industrial architecture of the early twentieth century.

After standing idle for many years, the building was refurbished by internationally renowned architects in order to fit it out as a modern cultural facility without detracting from the original spirit of the work.

Now a permanent exhibition takes visitors further into the history of this building, from its original design down to its refurbishment, bringing further insights into the Art Nouveau movement and into the work of one of its doyens: the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
