Audet i Puig, Andreu

Barcelona 1868 - 1938

1 Architect


Andreu Audet (© AHCAC)

He was a municipal architect in Barcelona and in the early years of the 20th century he was given many commissions for buildings to do with entertainment, a field in which he came to specialise. The Teatre Apolo (Avinguda del Paral·lel, 59), the restoration of the Edèn Concert Café (Nou de la Rambla, 12; no longer in existence) and the café La Buena Sombra (Gínjol, 3; no longer in existence) are some of his works. In 1912 his building for the Editorial Seguí publishing house (Bonavista, 30) won the prize awarded each year by Barcelona City Council for the best construction of the previous year.

Other outstanding examples of his production include Casa Baldomer Rovira (1899; Rosselló, 24) and his greatest work, Hotel Colón (1902; Plaça de Catalunya; no longer in existence), which was characterised by the use of decorative elements of all the artistic trades.

He was the author of Tratado de carpintería moderna (Treatise on Modern Carpentry) and chairperson of the Barcelona fire brigade.
