Chaflanes*. Ensanche de Barcelona (Arquitectura)
A chamfer* or ochava is an urban resource that consists in joining with an oblique line the sides of the blocks in their corners, eliminating these, in order to improve the circulation and its visibility and expand the crossings, which causes the plots located in those places they have special physical circumstances. The chamfer is a proper resource of the Spanish extensions, such as those of Barcelona, La Coruña, Gijón and Carrión. Stresses the theorization that made them Ildefonso Cerdá in his General Theory of Urbanization.
Also in urban planning, the chamfer is a modulation resource used together with others to vary the planimetry and create different acoustic effects in cities, whose diversity would not exist in totally homogeneous streets of parallel flat surfaces.2
Likewise, but on a smaller scale, the chamfer is the act of eliminating the corners of an object with a new oblique plane to the two originals, pursuing different objectives. For example, pieces of stone, wood or concrete, are usually chamfered to avoid wear or breakage of the edges, as well as to avoid damage to people by eventual blows or friction. To form the concrete creating these chamfers a few pieces called aubergines are used
