La Choricera

This article has been elaborated with images and texts given by the architect Ángel Verdasco . We would like to thank him for his help and kind assistance. For further research on the amazing work of Curro Inza, we strongly recommend the study of the following book edited by Ángel Verdasco: “El archivo de Curro Inza” The texts shown here are extracts of the following article written by Ángel Verdasco: “La fábrica de embutidos de Segovia. Diagramas y matbuildings.” The sausage factory “El Acueducto” in Segovia (1963-1966) is a building that is difficult to analyse, disturbing in its form, but which incites us to try to unravel and understand it: why did this factory become so inexplicable? What are the keys to this project? Multiple questions to be solved in one of the most complex and enigmatic buildings (perhaps the most complex and enigmatic?) of Madrid's organicism. Like other projects of the author, the one in Segovia remains to be explained. La fábrica de embutidos “El Acueducto” en Segovia (1963-1966) es un edificio difícil de analizar, perturbador en su forma, pero que nos incita a intentar desentrañarlo y entenderlo: ¿Por qué hizo esta fábrica tan inexplicable? ¿Qué claves esconde este proyecto?… Múltiples preguntas por resolver en uno de los edificios más complejos y enigmáticos (¿quizás el más complejo y enigmático?) del organicismo madrileño. Como otros proyectos del autor, el de Segovia queda por explicar. The first clue to understand the the project is that the factory plant, so organic at first sight, is the result almost literally of drawing and graphing a process of manufacture. The first version of the project is the the only one that includes the entire manufacturing process.
