Headquarters of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Catalonia, in La Nau Gaudi, or the Gaudi Warehouse of the Mataronense Workers' Cooperative, a bleaching warehouse for a yarn factory, designed in 1878 by Antoni Gaudi, 1852-1926, in Mataro, Catalonia, Spain. The building, built for the textile cooperative La Obrera Mataronense, uses wooden parabolic arches. Outside is the toilet block. Gaudi had originally planned homes, an assembly hall and a factory in an extended socialist project, although his plans were uncompleted. The building was restored in 2008. Picture by Manuel Cohen
