Barcelona 1874 - 1956

1 Architect


Arnau Calvet (© AHCAC)

He qualified as an architect in 1897. His early production can be located within Modernisme, but he soon turned towards the construction of monumentalist buildings, such as the Jorba department store in Barcelona (1926-1932; Portal de l'Àngel, 19-21), although he always maintained links with the Catalan tradition. This architect also designed the twin buildings known as Casa Francesc Lalanne and Cases Armenteras (1907; Provença, 324 and 326) and Sarrià market which he did together with M. Coquillat (1911-1913; Passeig de la Reina Elisenda de Montcada, 8).

He worked with B. Conill i Montobbio in 1906 on the Vallvidrera Funicular (1905; Avinguda de Vallvidrera, 66 - Queralt, 20), in which certain Viennese solutions were employed. The building of the former Hidroelèctrica de Catalunya (1905; Arcs, 10), which can be regarded as belonging to a breakaway tendency of Modernisme, is also by him.
