  • Catalan Farmhouses and Farming Families in Catalonia Between the 16Th and Early 20Th Centuries
    CATALAN HISTORICAL REVIEW, 9: 71-84 (2016) Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.122 · ISSN: 2013-407X http://revistes.iec.cat/chr/ Catalan farmhouses and farming families in Catalonia between the 16th and early 20th centuries Assumpta Serra* Institució Catalana d’Estudis Agraris Received 20 May 2015 · Accepted 15 July 2015 Abstract The masia (translated here as the Catalan farmhouse), or the building where people reside on a farming estate, is the outcome of the landscape where it is located. It underwent major changes from its origins in the 11th century until the 16th century, when its evolu- tion peaked and a prototype was reached for Catalonia as a whole. For this reason, in the subsequent centuries the model did not change, but building elements were added to it in order to adapt the home to the times. Catalan farmhouses are a historical testimony, and their changes and enlargements always reflect the needs of their inhabitants and the technological possibilities of the period.

  • Original Compilation of Historical Data On
    Original Neurosciences and History 2019; 7(1): 1-14 Compilation of historical data on healthcare at Vall d’Hebron: first patient with stroke attended in 1607 O. de Fàbregues-Boixar Neurologist. Head of the Parkinson’ s disease and other movement disorders unit, Department of Neurology, Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron, Barcelona, Spain. Doctor of neuroscience. Associate director of the Museo Archivo Histórico of the Spanish Society of Neurology. ABSTRACT Introduction. This article describes various historical aspects of healthcare at Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron. Methods. Documentation was collected and reviewed from the historical archive of the city of Barcelona, the archives of the Diocese of Barcelona, and the historical archive of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya, the manuscripts section of the Biblioteca de Catalunya, and the literature on the Hieronymite monastery of Saint Jerome in Vall d’Hebron and Hospital Vall d’Hebron. Data of healthcare and neurological interest were collected. Results. Today’ s Hospital Vall d’Hebron stands on the site of a farm that belonged to the royal monastery of Saint Jerome in Vall d’Hebron. The monastery, of which only traces remain today, had an infirmary, pharmacy, hostelry, and a hospital for the poor, and provided healthcare to Hieronymite monks, guests, pilgrims, and poor people from the time of its foundation (1393) to its secularisation (1835). The monastery was used as a lazaretto during the yellow fever and cholera epidemics in Barcelona, in 1821 and 1834, respectively. The 1903 urban plan for greater Barcelona allocated the area for the “placement of a hospital.” The fact that the land was owned by the state and the site’ s salutary characteristics made it ideal for the construction of a large healthcare complex outside of the city centre: the Residencia Sanitaria Francisco Franco (1955).

  • La Masia Freixa Revisitada 57 TERME 25, 2010
    LA MASIA FREIXA REVISITADA Mireia Freixa i Serra, catedràtica d’Història de l’Art de la Universitat de Barcelona i investigadora principal del Grup de recerca en Història de l’Art i del Disseny Contemporanis (GRACMON). Resum La Masia Freixa de Lluís Muncunill és una de les obres clau per a comprendre el modernisme ter- rassenc. Fins ara l’havíem datat entre 1907 i 1910, però el descobriment dels documents de facturació de l’obra, ara dipositats a l’Arxiu Històric Comarcal de Terrassa, ens ha permès estudiar tot el procés de construcció i establir la data de l’elaboració del projecte a mitjan 1905. Així mateix, aquests materials ens permeten saber amb precisió tots els industrials —des del contractista de l’obra fins als paletes, els fusters o els serrallers— que van participar en la seva construcció. La Masia Freixa revisitada Freixa La Masia Abstract The Masia Freixa, designed by the architect Lluís Muncunill, is one of the key works to understand Catalan modernism in Terrassa. Up to now, the work had been dated between 1907 and 1910, but the discovery of billing documents that belonged to the work, now stored in the Comarcal Historical Archives of Terrassa, has made us possible to study the whole construction process and establish project development’s date in the mid 1905’s. These materials likewise make us possible to know accurately all the industrialists involved in the building’s construction, from the building contractor to the masons, carpenters or locksmiths. 57 Els nítids i bells arcs parabòlics de la Masia Freixa s’han convertit en un dels em- TERME 25, 2010 blemes del modernisme terrassenc.

  • Architectural Renovation Using Traditional Technologies, Local Materials and Artisan’S Labor in Catalonia
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLIV-M-1-2020, 2020 HERITAGE2020 (3DPast | RISK-Terra) International Conference, 9–12 September 2020, Valencia, Spain ARCHITECTURAL RENOVATION USING TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES, LOCAL MATERIALS AND ARTISAN’S LABOR IN CATALONIA. O. Roselló 1, * 1 Architect Founder of www.bangolo.com and member co-founder of www.projectegreta.cat C.Pau Claris 154 Planta 4 Barcelona 08009 - [email protected] Commission II - WG II/8 KEY WORDS: Masia, Artisans, Vernacular, Architectural refurbish, Traditional technologies. ABSTRACT: The use of traditional techniques when restoring a masia is always the primary consideration in the preliminary phase of the project and during the site work. The virtues of traditional techniques compared to industrial production systems are described from multiple points of view: as a sustainable contemporary strategy, as generators of healthy spaces , as virtues of social and territorial scale, as a better formal contextualisation due to the limitations of pre-industrial materials. These are virtues that the industrial system has forgotten. The purpose of the Can Buch project (a masia in Northen Catalonia, Spain) was to restore the main house, some sheds and a barn, to enable rural ecotourism and to create a residence for the owner and future manager of the property. The promoter of the project intended to apply the values of permaculture. Maximising the use of Km0 materials from the start emphasised this intention. If we understand the traditional farmhouse as the site's resource map, applying this reality to the present work means recovering original representative principles. Currently, the project is in the last phase of works, but the results of applying this philosophy are already visible.

Claves para reescribir la Historia del modernismo cataláN EN LA Habana1 Jorge Núñez Vega ABSTRacT In this work we perform a critical assessment of the literature on the development of Catalan Modernism in Havana in two stages, one which strives to discover the national identity of architecture and a second one that accepts the Havanan urban space as a complex universe made up of varied fragments. We discuss the conception of the unprecedented architectural image and its relation to the adherence to historicism in peripheral contexts, a concept present in the assessment of Havanan Modernism, explaining it with primary sources and establishing its limitations. We present the question of the opposition of art to indus- trial reality, analyzing how it behaves in the Cuban case and what kind of documents—literary, in the analyzed case—provided guidelines for taste and a demand not connected to the Caribbean colonial tradition, but to the desire to build a space to “live on a large scale”, according to European models and the urgency to modernize the capital of the new republic.

  • Farmhouse Can Xicarró
    FARMHOUSE CAN XICARRÓ GRAPHIC AND HISTORICAL STUDY OF THE FARMHOUSE IN VILANOVA I LA GELTRÚ AUTHOR: SERGIO LÓPEZ BAREA BUILDING ENGINEERING TUTOR: BENET MECA ACOSTA FINAL DEGREE PROJECT CALL: OCTOBER 2012 Introduction After making various visits and compiling a variety of information, the focus of this thesis will be on The farmhouse Can Xicarró which is located in Polygon 1 42 (b) Vilanova i the Geltrú (Barcelona) This thesis will focus on the masía’s astonishing history and architecture, factors which inspired me to research and study this project. In order to develop this thesis, a series of sketches were carried out in which information about floors, elevations, sections and details were compiled. On the other hand, in order to complete the historical analysis, photographs and books about farmhouse were researched. The records of this spectacular construction show that there has been housing in Can Xicarró since 1497, in other words, only five years after the discovery of the Americas. It should be noted that it was formally known the Farmhouse of the Planas which was owned by Pere Ballester. Subsequently Manuel Olivella Sama acquired it in the nineteenth century, and converted it to a Neo-Mudejar style characterized by stone arches, ornate tiles and brick. At this time it was fashionable to demonstrate wealth. The location had many hectares of vineyards, which were used for the production of the wine and were stored in the warehouses adjacent to the main house. Due to the small stature of the owner, the name of Las Planes was changed to Xicarró, meaning “little man” in Catalan.

  • Arquitectura Modernista: What Was/Is It? Judith C Rohrer
    Permanent Secretariat Av. Drassanes, 6-8, planta 21 08001 Barcelona Tel. + 34 93 256 25 09 Fax. + 34 93 412 34 92 Strand 2: The Historiography of Art Nouveau (looking back on the past) Arquitectura Modernista: What Was/Is It? Judith C Rohrer The publication of Oriol Bohigas’ Arquitectura Modernista in 1968 marked a key moment in the historiography of Catalan “Modernisme”1. Here for the first time was a monographic study of the architecture of the turn of the century period along with extensive, indeed seductive, photographic documentation by Leopold Pomés, a detailed chronology of the period setting the architecture in both local and international context, and a biographical section which served as a preliminary catalog of the known works of modernista architects and their dates of execution. That this monograph launched a spate of serious research into the relatively unknown architects of the modernista era can be seen in the second, totally revised, edition of the book (1973), now retitled Reseña y Catálogo de la Arquitectura Modernista, as well as in the third (1983) where the list of modernista practitioners grew exponentially from 44 to 80 to 175 thanks to a flurry of archival inventories and individual monographs spurred on by Bohigas’ example.2 It was the beginning of a sustained and rigurous investigation of the subject that continues unabated to this day. Arquitectura Modernista provided a needed focus on a broad range of Catalan architectural practice and production.
