Jewelry collection inspired by the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, a hospital complex located in Barcelona that was designed by the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The hospital was built in several stages between 1902 and 1930, and consists of several buildings connected by a network of tunnels and gardens.
The hospital complex has several domes, which became a characteristic element of Domènech i Montaner's design. The domes are built with bricks and glazed ceramics and are decorated with mosaics, frescoes and sculptures.
The shape of the domes of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, is of the "escarzano" or "escatada" type. This form is characterized by having a curved structure in the form of scales or tiles, which are superimposed on each other to form a kind of "spiral" upwards.
The construction technique used for the hospital domes is "trencadís", which consists of placing glazed ceramic fragments of different shapes and colors on a mortar surface. In this way, a visually interesting and unique texture and pattern is created.
In the case of the domes of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, trencadís is used to create geometric and floral designs that integrate perfectly into the curved structure of the domes.
The result is an impressive architectural work that combines aesthetic beauty with medical and hospital functionality.
