Biography:
Born in Barcelona
(Catalonia) in 1858.
Sagnier received his degree as an architect in 1882.
Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia was not perhaps the most original architect
of Catalan Art Nouveau, but he was surely one of the most prolific, with
more than 30 interesting buildings, not only in Barcelona.
Enric Sagnier was part of Gaudí’s orbit and was basically oriented to
Art Nouveau in its Gothic tendency, as manifested in the buildings of la
Caixa de Pensions. His personal style was also sometimes influenced by
Rococo, as in the
Arnús House.
In addition to his common work as a designer of domestic buildings, he
was also the architect of institutional buildings in Barcelona, such as
the Palace of Justice, designed together with Josep Domènech i Estapà,
and the Nova Duana (New Customs House), together with Pere Garcia i
Faria.
He also designed religious buildings, such as the Church and Monastery
of Pompeia, the Capella Francesa (French Chapel), and the Tibidabo
Temple, which was completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal.
After this period, at the end of his life, he designed other buildings
in different styles, for example the Basilica of Sant Josep Oriol in
Barcelona (Renaissance style) in 1926.
Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia died in Barcelona in 1931.
