How to get there
About
In this first stage, the catalogue focuses on the modern and contemporary architecture designed and built between 1832 –year of construction of the first industrial chimney in Barcelona that we establish as the beginning of modernity– until today.
The project is born to make the architecture more accessible both to professionals and to the citizens through a website that is going to be updated and extended. Contemporary works of greater general interest will be incorporated, always with a necessary historical perspective, while gradually adding works from our past, with the ambitious objective of understanding a greater documented period.
The collection feeds from multiple sources, mainly from the generosity of architectural and photographic studios, as well as the large amount of excellent historical and reference editorial projects, such as architectural guides, magazines, monographs and other publications. It also takes into consideration all the reference sources from the various branches and associated entities with the COAC and other collaborating entities related to the architectural and design fields, in its maximum spectrum.
Special mention should be made of the incorporation of vast documentation from the COAC Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.
The rigour and criteria for selection of the works has been stablished by a Documental Commission, formed by the COAC’s Culture Spokesperson, the director of the COAC Historical Archive, the directors of the COAC Digital Archive, and professionals and other external experts from all the territorial sections that look after to offer a transversal view of the current and past architectural landscape around the territory.
The determination of this project is to become the largest digital collection about Catalan architecture; a key tool of exemplar information and documentation about architecture, which turns into a local and international referent, for the way to explain and show the architectural heritage of a territory.

Memory
Industrial building located on the outskirts of the historic centre of Les Cabanyes. It consists of two longitudinal and one transversal naves (one of the longitudinal naves is from a later period). It is covered by a gable roof supported on wooden trusses on square-section brick pillars. Communication with the rear nave is through a lowered arch portal and a parabolic arch. The site is partially surrounded by a fence.
Originally all the façades were surrounded by an irregular stone plinth of medium size, with circular openings at the ground level, and delimited by an impost of bricks.
The main façade is centred by the door, with a parabolic brick arch, surrounded by an awning, inside of which there is a medium-sized stone, which is an extension of the plinth. Right above the door there is a ceramic panel that says: "Celler Cooperatiu les Cabanyes 1919". The second level of the façade is occupied by a large window with a broken tile surround that houses five parabolic arches inside, all of exposed brick. The third level is made up of a wall sector and the eaves of the roof. The side façades are blind walls of masonry only pierced by twin windows.
Initially located almost on the outskirts of the town, it is now at the intersection of fifth, sixth and eighth streets.
Since 1912, there was already a Les Cabanyes the Cooperative Agricultural Union-Union of Agricultors, with various activities, but it never built its own winery. In 1919, on the other hand, the Sindicato Bodegaagrícola de las Cabañas was founded in order to found a cooperative winery, which was entrusted to the architect Cèsar Martinell, who made one of the longitudinal naves that he had planned plus another transversal one in the behind. Later, another nave was added next to the first one. Works seem to have lasted until 1921.
1982, with the collaboration of the Diputació de Barcelona, tubs were installed in the courtyard. Around the year 2000 it passed into private hands and continues to produce wine.
