trencadís 45
Ornamental coating technique with fragmented mosaic on a layer of mortar. It tells the anecdote that was created by Antoni Gaudí, who rushed the masons shattering a cladding tile while shouting "Handfuls have to be put on, other words, we will never end up!"; something that makes a lot of sense if we look at the curved shapes that exhibit its architecture, almost impossible to coat with standard measurement ceramics. The name trencadís means "chopped" in Catalan. See mosaiquism , tile .
