Coll de Bacardí, Josep M.

Barcelona 1878 - 1917

1 Architect

He qualified as an architect in 1907. His premature death meant that his architectural career was brief - just seven years - and practically confined to Terrassa.

Together with L. Muncunill he is one of the most representative architects of Modernisme in Terrassa, although within a style closer to Viennese art. His production is concentrated in the first two decades of the 20th century in Terrassa and includes Casa Baumann (1913; Avinguda de Jacquard, 1, also known as Casa Josep Maria Coll i Bacardí); Parc de Desinfecció (1920; Calderón de la Barca, 4), with the use of mosaic and rounded shapes, and the Torrella group of school buildings which no longer exist (1916; Rambla d'Egara; demolished in 1968), the last two buildings for public use and of great value. The Marcet i Poal factory and warehouse (1914; Rasa, 224-226 - Pantà, 10) is in a more Noucentista ("1900-ist", a term coined in 1906 to refer to 20th century Catalan culture) style.

He was the municipal architect of Torelló.
