Life:
Josep Maria Jujol was born in Tarragona the 16 September 1879.
The year 1883 he went with his family to Gracia (a town close to Barcelona later integrated in the city) . 
He finished his baccalaureate studies in 1896.
Once his elementary studies finished, he went to Barcelona to study in the Sciences Faculty and later in the l'Escola Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona from 1901, when Domènech i Montaner was the Director.
He was titled as architect in 1906.
The year 1904 he start to work with Gaudí, and he will never stop his close collaboration with him till the dead of the big architect in 1927, helping him in the construction of La Pedrera, Park Güell and other works.
He was a professor of the Escola Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona from 1910. In addition of his activities as architect, he also developed a very interesting activity as designer and also as sculptor (Professor of Barcelona Escola del Treball).
The architectural work of Jujol is modest as well for the size and characteristics of works commissioned to him as for the small budgets (Specially in comparison with the big Art Nouveau Catalan architects Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner, Puig i Cadafalch, Sagnier and others), but this are not reasons to stop his genius. In fact that contrast between the limitation of his possibilities and the richness and originality of his works is one of the most interesting aspects of Jujol work. 
The works related left are the most important, but they are only a small part of his activity developed in a big quantity of small works built all around Catalonia, but essentially around the Camp de Tarragona region. 
Josep Maria Jujol died in Barcelona in 1 May 1949.
