He was born in Tarragona in 1879. He studied in the School of Architecture of Barcelona from 1897 to 1906. His work is divided into two periods: between 1906 and 1926 he stood out because of his creativity and close connection with Gaudí; from 1927 onwards his creations were of variable quality. He carried out the ceramic cladding in the column room in Güell Park in Barcelona with Gaudí (1911-1913), the handrails in La Pedrera house (1905-1910) and the ceramic cladding on the Casa Batlló house façade (1904-1906). In his second period he designed the Montserrat Shrine (1926-1935), in Montferri, and the urban development of Plaza de España in Barcelona, for the International Exhibition in Barcelona in 1929. He died in Barcelona in 1949.
