Presentation of the Book ‘Antoni Puig Gairalt. Architect and Humanist, 1888-1935’

On December 3rd at 7:00 PM, the auditorium of the COAC’s Ebre Demarcation will host the presentation of the book “Antoni Puig Gairalt, Architect and Humanist, 1888-1935“. The event will be led by Marta Cervelló, the book’s author, and Elena Rosales, president of the Ebre Demarcation.

Antoni Puig Gairalt (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, 1888 – Barcelona, 1935) was a key figure in Catalan architecture during the transition from Noucentisme to the Modern Movement. Thanks to the discovery of his personal diary, architect Marta Cervelló Casanova, who is his great-niece, offers us a biographical insight into this brilliant architect, who was also an accomplished pianist. He performed solo or alongside Pau Casals, Mercè Plantada, or in four-hand performances with Wanda Landowska, playing works by Schumann, Mozart, César Franck, and especially Bach.
