Catalonia · Trencadís: Colorful Fragments on Curved Surfaces

A curved surface covered with mosaic of broken ceramic pieces. The fragments are recycled glazed tiles and ceramics, irregular in shape and varying in size, with colors of white, cobalt blue, green, and ocher yellow. They are arranged along the curve, with mortar filling the gaps, forming flowing color blocks rather than regular patterns. It is used on roof chimneys, the backs of benches, and the top edges of boundary walls.
Avoid: using tiles cut into regular shapes, making the patterns into neat geometric designs, making the colors too vibrant and saturated, using it on large flat walls.

一片用碎瓷片貼成的曲面。碎片是回收的釉面磚與瓷器,形狀不規則、大小不一,顏色有白、鈷藍、綠與赭黃;它們順著曲面的走向拼貼,縫隙填著灰泥,整體形成流動的色塊而不是規則的圖案。它用在屋頂的煙囪、長椅的椅背與圍牆的頂緣。避免:使用切割成規則形狀的磁磚、把圖案做成整齊的幾何、讓顏色過於鮮豔飽和、在大面積的平牆上使用。
