Tiling is an art form that transcends borders and cultures, as evident in the intricate designs found throughout the world. From the vibrant doorways of Essaouira, Morocco in North Africa to the mesmerizing quasicrystal patterns adorning brochure covers for Triplex Grates/Ranges, tiling showcases its versatility. In Seville, Spain, a map of Italy and the Mediterranean made entirely out of ceramic tiles graces a street, captivating passersby with its detailed craftsmanship. Meanwhile, a silhouette of men enjoying their time at a pub creates an ambiance that only tiled walls can provide. Traveling further west to Oporto, Portugal in Europe reveals laundry hanging from windows in the Ribeira Quarter - an everyday scene turned into a picturesque display against tiled facades. The Attarine Madrasah in Fez stands proudly as a UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing Moroccan tiling expertise. Venturing eastward to Madaba, Jordan in the Middle East unravels mosaic wonders such as the Virgin and Child mosaic within St. Georges Orthodox church - an awe-inspiring testament to ancient artistry preserved through time. Returning to Seville's Santa Cruz district unveils yet another masterpiece: the interior of a bar adorned with meticulously placed tiles that exude warmth and charm. A tiled picture depicting Mary and Jesus on another street adds spiritual depth to this vibrant cityscape. Further back in history lies Generalife's portico mosaic from 1907; although its creator remains unknown, their legacy lives on through this breathtaking work of art. Even London's Bank station boasts elegant tiling on its Underground platform – proof that even utilitarian spaces can be transformed into visual delights through skillful tilework. From doors to brochures covers and maps to religious icons – tiling has become more than just decoration; it is now an integral part of our cultural heritage worldwide.
