Trencadís
Trencadís (Catalan language) is a type of mosaic created from broken tile shards. The technique is also called pique assiette.
The Catalan architects Antoni Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol used trencadís in many projects, among which Barcelona’s Park Güell is probably the most famous.
The effect of thousands of brightly-colored patterns dancing together under the Mediterranean sun to create a larger image is both striking and joyful.
