Panots are the art of the hydraulic pipes that are used on Barcelona's streets. Their history is fascinating because they have become a symbol of the city.
Wann wurden Panots eingeführt?
Panots are closely linked to the historic development of Barcelona's Eixample district. Traditionally, the Steinmakkadam building was used for the city centre. The problem was that in Regen it had been built on the basis of its reputation for a flammable atmosphere. The city was even created as Can Fanga. From 1903 onwards, it was decided to create a different kind of building for Barcelona. Its extension would not have been possible without the existence of modernist architecture and this type of material.
Ab diesem Moment schrieb die Stadt Barcelona einen öffentlichen Wettbewerb aus. Auf diese Weise wurde beschlossen, die Pflasterung der Stadt zu beenden. Die Option der Panots wurde aus den 5 vorhandenen ausgewählt. Der Grund, warum sich die Behörden für dieses Material entschieden haben, war im Wesentlichen wirtschaftlicher Natur. Es war die billigste verfügbare Option, und 1907 begann sie in den Straßenbelag der Stadt eingeführt zu werden. But what kinds of things are there? We will explain it to you better.
Arten von Panots
The Panot must be a standard size of a 20×20 square metre large square. A further important aspect is that it must be made from Portland cement. Der Mangel an Unternehmen, die es herstellten, war eine der anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten für die Verbreitung dieser Art von Fliesen. Der Hauptunterschied liegt normalerweise im gedruckten Design, das variieren kann. In any case, it is important to know that you can find yourselves in almost any area of the city.
These are the most common designs, although today only the pink and tablet designs will be installed. We will not be looking at other variants such as the Gaudí-fliesen or the traditional copfsteinpflaster, which have been used in the Gothic quarter. These are the most important today:
Rosener Panot
Traditionally, the design of the renowned architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch was created. This is because the panels of the Casa Ametller are similar to this design. Es gibt jedoch einige Unterschiede in der Reliefstruktur, und vor allem gibt es keine dokumentarischen Beweise. Today this is a very successful design on the streets of Barcelona.
Tabletten-Panot
The Tabletten-Panot has two major advantages. Firstly, it can be placed in small blocks, without the interlock being damaged. Secondly, he improves water drainage, which is one of the fundamental aspects of problem solving.
Vier-Tabletten-Panot mit Kreisen
This design attempts to combine the functionality of the Tabletten-Panot with the attractiveness of the Rosen-Panot. Although it is not the most appropriate, it is not always difficult to find it on the streets of Barcelona.
Ensaimada-Panot
The Ensaimada-Panot, which, according to its central form, is an integral part of the Mallorcan heritage, is unequivocal. In any case, it must be said that it will no longer be installed on the city centre.
Schädel-Panot
The Schädel-Panot is a new design that has been built and will no longer be restored. Obwohl er unheimlich erscheinen mag, haben sich die meisten Bewohner Barcelonas daran gewöhnt.
Who installs this type of flies?
The installation of this type of fireworks is a specialised craft. It has to be said that these are only possible because the city of Barcelona only cooperates with companies with experience in the sector. Dies ist bei Mosaics Torra der Fall, das Fliesen, Panots und Gaudí-Fliesen liefert. Not less important is the restaurant work, which is unmistakable on Barcelona's streets.
If you would like to buy hydraulic flies, Mosaics Torra is an interesting option for many reasons. Firstly, because we are a manufacturer. Secondly, because we will be able to install it. Finally, we can restore public buildings because we have the know-how.
