Lluís Bonet i Garí

From 1914 onwards, he worked in the studio of renowned Catalan Modernist Antoni Gaudí, along with many other architecture students of his generation, such as Joan Bergós [es], Cèsar Martinell, and Isidre Puig.

His first assignment was a bank office for the Arnús Garí organization on Passeig de Gràcia, which was a job provided to him through his maternal family.

[4] In Argentona, he replaced his cousin as the head of construction for the Cros summer house, the estate of his maternal family, where he designed the garden and chapel in Gaudí style.

[6] For the 1929 International Exhibition in Barcelona, he build the pavilion of the Banco Vitalicio de España with an original design of his highlighting decorations that resembled a tropical environment.

[7] In the early 1930s, he began combining Noucentisme with traditional Catalan architecture in works such as his villa in Vilassar de Mar, the Bonet-Godó in Teyá, the Carreras Patxot and Maria Darna house in Pedralbes, the Hotel Prudenci in Tona, and his building on 407 Avinguda Diagonal in Barcelona.

[6] In contrast, his building for Polydor Records in San Adrián de Besós, now the town hall, was built in the rationalist style and was influenced by German architect K.

Lastly, he built a branch in Barcelona (Passeig de Gràcia 11), one of his most notable works, planned before the civil war but delayed until 1942, completing construction in 1950.

At the same time, he was commissioned by the Seminary of Vic and won a competition for the presbytery of the Terrassa Cathedral with painter Antoni Vila Arrufat and sculptor Enric Monjo [ca].

[16] In 1942, he received the honor of being in charge of construction of the headquarters for the National Institute of Welfare in Barcelona, on Balmes street and Gran Vía.

[17] He also designed the South American Insurance House, the Banco Vitalicio locations in Gerona, Lleida, Las Palmas, and Seville, as well as many Barcelonés residential buildings.

[19] He joined a team of architects in 1962 responsible for the construction of the Sagrada Família, along with Isidre Puig and Francesc Quintana [es], with whom he built the new facade of the Passion.
