Visit-Workshop
The Challenge of the Modernist Factory
Workshop visit at the former Casaramona textile factory

Ongoing Activity
Have you ever noticed how unique the CaixaForum building is? The architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch received an unusual commission: to design a modern, functional, and safe factory… without sacrificing beauty or artistic character. Would you like to help him?

In this workshop visit, with supporting materials, activities, and challenges, you will discover the innovative solutions devised by Puig i Cadafalch and understand the historical, artistic, technical, and practical reasons behind each shape, each material, and each construction detail.

And finally, with all the experience gained from assisting the renowned architect, it will be your turn: in the workshop space, you will take over and face the challenge of transforming the old factory into a modern cultural center.

Recommended for children aged 8 and up.

This activity is part of the Barcelona 2026 World Architecture Capital initiative.
