Abstract

The Spanish Royal Academy defines crisis as a "deep change with important consequences in a process or situation". Between 1960 and 1980 the Sherry Region lived a period of extraordinary constructive rise; a direct correlate of the trade expansion of the sherry sector. In this context, a not majority group of buildings stand out. They approach the necessary renovation of the wine-cellar architecture from clearly contemporary architectural budgets. This investigation deals with the analysis of these buildings understood as the product of the singular convergence of two critical situations: the "deep change" that the Sherry Region will undergo in all its social and productive sides; and the cultural renewal that represents for the Architecture the so-called Third Generation. From the intersection of both would arise the "sherry factories", a response built to the effort to "industrialize the production" of the sherry economic sector.
