Josep Puig i Cadafalch (Catalan: [ʒuˈzɛp ˈputʃ i kəðəˈfalk]; 17 October 1867 in Mataró – 21 December 1956 in Barcelona) was a Catalan Modernista architect who designed many significant buildings in Barcelona, and a politician who had a significant role in the development of Catalan institutions. He was the architect of the Casa Martí (also known as "Els Quatre Gats"), which became a place of ideas, projects and social gatherings for such well-known Catalans as Santiago Rusiñol and Ramon Casas. Although Puig i Cadalfach's style separated him significantly from his contemporary Gaudí, their relations were neither tense nor problematic, as demonstrated by the participation of both architects in the construction of the Cafe Torino.
