The Sagrada Familia is known for its distinctive 'trençadís' architecture, which involves the assembly of fragmented elements into new forms. This technique can be seen in various parts of the building, including the façade, towers, and interior spaces. The temple also features stunning stained-glass windows and a central nave decorated with murals depicting scenes from the life of Jesus.
Gaudí used the 'trencadís' technique to create unique, fragmented compositions within his buildings. This method involved breaking down larger pieces of material (such as stone) and then reassembling them in new configurations, resulting in visually striking and innovative structures.
Visitors ascending the stairway at the Sagrada Familia encounter a series of mosaic ceramic tiles designed by Antoni Gaudí himself. These tiles feature mythical creatures, including a majestic dragon, which adds to the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the climb.
Parc Güell is known for its 'trençadís' architecture, characterized by fragmented elements assembled into new forms. The park features a variety of architectural styles, including Catalan Modernism, and showcases Gaudí's creative genius in blending different materials and techniques.
