Tilework on one of the walls at Park Güell in Barcelona, Spain. Note how the tile is all broken up and nothing is flat - the white tiles bulge out and the patterned tiles bulge in!
A connecting flight of stairs leads to another famous feature of the park: the Gran Placa Circular. Originally intended as a market place for the residents, this plaza is bordered by what is known as the largest bench in the world. The colorful ceramic serpentine bench, designed by Jujol, twists snakelike around the plaza. The view from the plaza is spectacular, you can see as far as the Mediterranean Sea. The whole platform is supported by 86 huge columns, creating a hall beneath the plaza, known as the Sala Hipòstila. www.aviewoncities.com/barcelona/parcguell.htm

Zellige, Zillij or Zellij (Arabic: الزليج‎) is terra cotta tilework covered with enamel in the form of chips set into plaster.[1] It is one of the main characteristics of the Moroccan architecture though it's also used in other North African and Muslim countries. It consists of geometrical mosaics made ceramic used mainly as an ornament for walls, ceilings, fountains, floors, pools, tables, etc.
The art of Zellige flourished at the Hispano-Moresque period (Azulejo). It then appeared in Morocco in the 10th century using nuances of white and brown colours.
The art remained very limited in use until the Merinid dynasty who gave it more importance around the 14th century. Blue, red, green and yellow colours were introduced in the 17th century.

"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.
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.
