Intro

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Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.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

Neo-Romanesque style church of the 20th century following the Romanesque forms of the 11th century and synthesising great contributions of the Catalan Romanesque style from different places in order to achieve a prototype of a Romanesque church. The style used within the historicist forms is the First Romanesque or Lombard Romanesque: it has blind arches, Lombard bands, semi-circular arches, barrel vaults, a bell tower with floors which is separate from the church and regular stones placed at the junction. The dome that crowns the transept forms a Latin cross plan that tends to the Greek cross. It has three apses in degradation and the central one has three apsidioles.

The Neo-Romanesque church of La Mare de Déu del Roser in Colònia Gomis was inaugurated in 1930 and is the work of the architect Alexandre Soler i March. It was the last work of the colony, which was made up of the factory, the housing for the workers and the church with additional religious buildings. La colony had been founded in 1891 by the industrialist Francesc Gomis i Soler and until recent years has been dedicated to cotton yarns and fabrics.

Chronology

  1. Colònia Gomis

    autoria desconeguda

    La colònia estava formada per una fàbrica, una línia d'habitatges i l'església neoromànica de la Mare de Déu del Roser. La Colònia industrial tèxtil de Can Gomis fou fundada l'any 1891 pel manresà Francesc Gomis i Soler. Dedicada, des dels seus orígens, a la fabricació de filats i teixits de cotó, l'any 1909 fou instal·lada a aquest lloc una central elèctrica que proveïa de corrent a Monistrol de Montserrat, Olesa de Montserrat i la muntanya, i el Monestir de Montserrat, així com d'altres pobles. Quedà integrada al grup de forces hidroelèctriques del Segre i fou creat per aquesta mateixa raó social. L'església neoromànica de la Colònia Gomis fou dedicada a la Mare de Déu del Roser i és obra de l'arquitecte Alexandre Soler i March. L'estiu de l'any 1985 fou tancada la fàbrica de la Colònia Gomis que ocupava en aquells moments a 72 treballadors, un 80 % dels quals procedia del poble de Monistrol de Montserrat. Anys més tard es va tornar a obrir la fàbrica, que encara funciona.
