Trencadís mosaic, hallmark of Gaudí

The trencadís mosaics on the towers of the Nativity façade are from Gaudí’s time, while those on the towers of the Passion façade are from the 1970s. One of the professionals in charge of coordinating and executing this work by hand today is Joan Orriols, who has done part of the trencadís mosaics on the inner vaults and all of the ones on the apse and sacristy. In the following video, he explains how he applies this technique to the work currently under way, the offering pinnacles, and how this trade is carried out today using the technique Gaudí made popular a century ago. bit.ly/2xPPlOf
