Tile panel depicting a woman being served with wine and food by her attendants in an outdoor setting in springtime. The tiles have a fritware body covered in a white slip opacified with tin oxide. After the initial firing, the design was set out in the coloured-glaze technique (haftrangi in Persian; a parallel to European cuerda seca), in which each block within the composition was filled with one of a range of coloured glazes, which include cobalt blue, green, black, yellow and turquoise. The details of the faces were painted in in black. As currently reconstructed, a border runs along the bottom and sides of the panel. It has a blue ground and a repeating pattern in which cloud bands (mostly yellow, some white) alternate with vine scroll motifs in black edged with white, all executed as coloured glazes.

The Alcazar of Seville occupies a large swathe of the southern edge of the old city. It was initially built inthe Moorish period as a fort and has been added to and embellished over the succeeding centuries to create the magnificent palace complex we see today (still an official residence of the Spanish royal family).
The Acazar is an outstanding example of Moorish and Mudejar architecture, being largely constructed in Arab / Islamic style, most of it dating from after the Spanish reconquest and illustrating the high esteem in which Moorish design and craftsmen were then held. Later generations added sections in more native styles, such as Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
The finest features of the palace are the courtyards, which with their cusped arches, filigree wall ornamentation and reflective pools are worthy rivals for the more famous Alhambra of Granada. There are also numerous rooms decorated with exquisite tilework, ceilings and doorways, culminating in a grand audience hall crowned by a gilded wooden dome.
A quick visit to the old Tile Works at Barton-on-Humber before crossing the magnificent Humber Bridge. There is evidence of a narrow gauge tailway around the surviving Tile Works structures.
"Architextures" is a series of composite images. Each image is a mashup of multiple photographs. At least one of the sources is of an architectural subject, anything from closeup walls or windows to broad cityscapes. The added images provide texture or pattern. In some, the architectural forms are preserved and obvious. In others, the pictures become pure abstractions. Yet in all of them, the inherent geometry, angles, lines, and repetitions of the architecture are essential to the geometry and esthetics of the final image. Most of the source images used for this series are already posted in this photostream. The links to the original and source images are listed below.
Inspiration for the name “Deco Tileworks” is in the geometry of the images. Decorative motifs suggestive of 1920’s and 1930’s art meld with rectilinear blocks suggestive of tilework in the public spaces and architecture of that era, such as railway and subway stations, movie theaters, and high rise office buildings. The Deco Tileworks sets all share a common foundation image. That base picture derives from views of the Atlanta, Georgia skyline and its tall buildings (source images and explanatory notes are elsewhere in this photostream). Specifically, there were two original source images, Facets #1a and #2a. These were combined to create Facets #2e, which by itself was reworked into the common core for the Deco Tileworks. Image 11a, the first in this set, is the common foundation image for the rest of the Deco series.

The Architextures 11 series of Deco Tileworks uses no other source images or composition elements. Only the Facets #2e image is present. Variations of texture, color, and form come from mathematical merges and blends, and from simple mirrors and rotations.
The Architextures 12 series of Deco Tileworks continues the basic themes and geometries of the Deco Tileworks 11 series, but it introduces bright colors. Whites and yellows were created with no additional source images or composition elements, just various merges and saturations of the common deco tileworks foundation image. Blues and greens were created by overlays with another of the Atlanta Highview images (blue sky facets v2). Oranges and reds were introduced by overlays with an unrelated non-architectural image (sunset trees & red rock cliffs _ arches national park, utah).

The Deco Cathedral images use the same common foundation image used by the Deco Tileworks sets 11 & 12. See pictures from those series for explanations about the basis for these Architexture images. In the Cathedral series, the Deco tilework images are combined with an image of real stained glass in a church window. The window is a typical Gothic style in which the stone tracery divides the window into a lancet and oculus arrangement. Some of the image variations in this set alter the colors shining through vertical glass panes of the lancets, or add radiant illumination shining through the oculus.

The Moraga Street tiled stairway. This is the longest tiled stairway in the world and started as a local initiative from the community www.tiledsteps.org. The tilework is wonderfully detailed: it takes a long time to go up or down the stairways since one is looking closely at all of the detail.
You don't see tilework like this at modern theaters.
The Rialto Theater opened in 1926. Its location at the north end of downtown made it attractive to Tampa Heights residents. The theater went dark sometime in the 50s or possibly in the 60s. A few light industrial-type businesses have operated in the building since then. It currently sits vacant, after plans to turn it into a nightclub fell through. This section of Franklin Street is Tampa's Skid Row.
Franklin Street at Henderson, Tampa.
Bethesda Terrace, Central Park. When the terrace and arcade were restored
to its 19th century glory, it was missing one crowning detail: the ornate and vibrant ceramic tiles that had lined the arcade's vaulted ceiling since 1864.
These are shots of the newly restored Minton tiles of the Bethesda's Arcade leading out to the fountain.

The view of the Taj from the right side courtyard. Agra, India. The fantastic tilework of the courtyard is apparent. The idea was to get a slightly different view of the Taj. Only partially successful.

"1921". Tilework with the year of construction on the facade of a complex of housing cooperative Het Oosten (since 2008 part of Stadgenoot) after the design of architects Meindert Lippits and N.H.W. Scholte.
Some information about this housing complex and more pictures of it can be found in the set Papendorp - complex Het Oosten.
The immense interior space of Grand Central Terminal's main concourse teems with commuters and travelers.
Seeing Grand Central Terminal after being inside Detroit's Michigan Central Station was like seeing a ghost in reverse. The same architect designed both. The tilework, the arches, the metalwork of the windows, were all the same. But In Detroit, I'd only seen them in ruin. Here they are alive and whole. Comparing the two in my head as I wandered through was a surreal experience.
This storefront tilework is found on Main St., Luzerne, PA. Reeves’ is long gone, and the building is now a consignment shop featuring clothing.
This tilework is on Chini Ka Rauza, the building is unique in Agra being the only building constructed in a purely persian style
There were so many things to shoot in Seville if one, like me, is interested in patterns and details. It was quite remarkable.
