L'Obrera x Gaudí: The hidden plot of Salvador Pagès examines the early connection between Antoni Gaudí and the cooperative La Obrera Mataronense. The exhibition details the construction of the entity's first three buildings, where the architect designed distinct zones for production, housing, and services. At Nau Gaudí, he experimented with industrial forms commissioned directly by the cooperative's director, Salvador Pagès. This exhibition is part of the 2026 Gaudí Year commemorations in Mataró.

Nau Gaudí

The first Gaudí. Parabolic arches, contemporary art.

Nau Gaudí, in Mataró, is Antoni Gaudí's first preserved building, a bleach factory for the Cooperativa Obrera Mataronense where he experimented with parabolic arches. This constructive solution, which would define his future work, today houses the Bassat Collection of Catalan art from the post-war period.
