Biography:
Born in Barcelona in 1873.
Valeri studied in the Polytechnical School of Madrid and
the School of Architecture of Barcelona, where
he obtained the degree of
architect in 1899.
His work is characterized by spectacular frontispieces of
waved design, following the
Art Nouveau common criteria, contributing a
exuberant sculptural decoration with vegetal
designs of very varied forms.
Some of the buildings of Valeri i
Pupurull also have great ceramic friezes
in very imaginative forms breaking
sometimes with any previous architectonic design.
In addition to the residential work he constructed in
Barcelona and its surroundings,
he also constructed a Casino in Sant Andreu
de la Barca (Baix Llobregat), some
cellars in Sant Esteve Sesrovires and the Cíclop Factory
in Igualada (Anoia).
His more spectacular work is
perhaps the Comalat House built
between 1906 and 1911 in Barcelona,
following the structure with two separated façades of a very peculiar
differences in their respective styles as the
Palau of the Baró de Quadras of the architect
Puig i Cadafalch who is located in front of it in the
same avenue. As well as, the main facade shows a
solemn modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau) based on the
construction in stone but with a sober stone color,
the back façade presents a slight
aspect with abundant and original
ceramic colorist decoration .
Valeri belongs to the second generation of modernist architects in
whom also prestigious architects like Muncunill
- author of the Masia Freixa in Terrassa (Vallès
Occidental) - are included.
Salvador Valeri i Pupurull died in Barcelona in 1954.
