The interior designer Caroline tries to assemble a nonrepeating pattern discovered by the David Smith from Yorkshire. The shape is supposed to be a in a nonrepeating pattern a so called “einstein” or “one stone. Usually wallpaper or tiled floor are part of an infinite pattern that repeats periodically. An aperiodic tiling displays no such “translational symmetry,” and mathematicians have long sought a single shape that could tile the plane in such a fashion. This is known as the einstein problem.

Can only see this from a very small area but whichever way you look it seems to be a stairway from where and where to ---one day I must go up the the top floor of a car park and see exactly the purpose of this stairway !! At least in one way it leads to a shot for the day !!
The new Springvale Community Hub has been open about a month and is still being discovered by the residents. I dropped in on the weekend to see the 2 storey library and check out the faciliities. I am really impressed by how the Council has incorporated playgrounds, water feature, table tennis, artificial lawn courts and other recreational areas in the park surrounding the U Shaped library/council building. The colours are really bright, vibrant and sometimes clashing!! The Town Hall also has had a makeover and extension.
They even managed to save the magnificent River Red Gums that are and were at the entrance to the Springvale Council Building.

Btb, If you look in the first comment box you’ll see where they usually are amongst the teapots…. giggling
The front edge of each tile is 3 inches so I’ve cropped it down so it’s approximately 2.6 cms- see measurement in the photostream . Will also attempt to put it in tge first comment box without loosing the bookcase.

Decorative tiling in an Art Nouveau/ Art Deco building, Lindfield. Without intensive examination I would say that the building is on the cusp of these two styles; however the colours in the tiling make me lean towards Art Deco as I've seen similar in regional buildings that are more clearly part of the great Art Deco building boom in Australia.
