Bonaventura Pollès i Vivó
Barcelona (1857) - Sevilla (1919)
He qualified as an architect in 1880 at the Barcelona School of Architecture and also studied in Madrid. He was municipal architect of Vilanova i la Geltrú, where most of his work, such as Vil·la Laguarda (Passeig Ribes Roges, 6 - Lluís Requesens, 3) and the Doctor Ribot houses (Marcel·lina Jacas, 3), is to be found.
In Barcelona he worked as an assistant on the construction of the Hotel Internacional (1885; no longer in existence) that the architect L. Domènech i Montaner made for the Universal Exhibition of 1888, and built his own house (Rambla de Catalunya, 72). The buildings he made reflect his tendency to erect big constructions and his use of iron and glass.
He was also an amateur painter and in 1901 he even exhibited cityscapes of the places where he had been at Sala Parés.
