Life:
Born in Barcelona in 24 May
1877.
During his architecture studies in the University of Barcelona, he was the
pupil of Lluís Domènech i Montaner and that
mastering is present in his works, specially in the Art Nouveau Villas
built by Raspall in various places in Vallès Oriental region, not far
from Barcelona.
Raspall i Mallol graduated in the Escola d'Arquitectura de Barcelona as architect in
1905 .
His first work was the reform of his mother house - Can Raspall - in La
Garriga.
In 1905 he started his activity as municipal architect of Cardedeu, and
lately he had the same position in the towns of l'Ametlla del Vallès, La Garriga, Granollers, Caldes de Montbui, Montmeló and La Roca.
Raspall was an architect with a very diversified activity, building as well
factories and warehouses - Viader Farm in Cardedeu - as familial residences, traditional houses (masies)
or summer residences - Alqueria Cloèlia in Cardedeu, Helius
Villa in Barcelona
and Iris
Villa and La Bombonera in
La Garriga - .
Typical characteristics of Raspall constructions are the use of stone in
façades, bricks to outline shapes, trencadis (broken ceramic pieces) and
ceramic to add color to façades, benches, fireplaces and columns. Forged iron is also common to embellish his Art Nouveau
buildings.
The first style on Raspall buildings was Art Nouveau, but lately he evolutes
to Noucentisme (The style following Art Nouveau in Catalonia) and finally
Art Deco in his last works.
Manel Joaquim Raspall i Mallol died in La Garriga (Vallès Oriental) in
15 September 1937.
