Disused Materials from One of the Moons
Use of components for a new function. Ceramic scales, glass candlesticks, bottles of different colours, porcelain tableware or, even, a figure. Mirror shards were also used, increasing the reflection of light in an extraordinary way.
Materials and original objects
The construction of this urban project started by Eusebi Güell began in 1900. Although the gatehouse pavilions and the monumental staircase (1902-1906) also contain spectacular pieces of ceramic trencadís, it is on the roofs of the Hypostyle Hall that Josep M. Jujol created an unusual world with recycled materials. The central elements are four suns representing the seasons, accompanied by smaller moons.
