Josep Maria Jujol was an ingenious architect who collaborated with Antoni Gaudí on numerous projects and created his own fantastic structures that remain fresh and innovative today.
Josep Maria Jujol was born in Tarragona in 1879, studied at the Faculty of Sciences and later at the School of Architecture of Barcelona in 1901. After qualifying, he began collaborating with Antoni Gaudí, providing a lightness in touch to the austere Gaudí. They remained close until Gaudí’s death in 1927, and he worked on structures such as Casa Milà, La Pedrera, Parc Guell and Casa Batlló. He was interested in the tactile aspects of his forms, using refined materials to create modern forms and innovative facades.
Jujol died in 1949. His independent work was animated and teeming with energy, with a richness and originality that earned him great trust and respect from Gaudí significantly influenced how we see Catalonian architecture today.
