Tile: Art and Architecture

Tiles create patterns, sequences, and order.

This work proposes a museum and creative space that showcases clay tiles. The building itself allows for puzzling wayfinding that encourages curiosity and exploration from the visitor, where paths cross and no two experiences in this space should be the same.

This work also explores creative processes of tile-making through experimental pieces that have been developed at Virginia Tech's clay studio and accompany this work. / Master of Architecture / Tiles create patterns, sequences, and order.

With the ever increasing mass-manufacturing of building materials in modern times, the art of artistic, detailed, and decorative tiles has been a form of art that today is most appreciated through frames and small showcasings of only 2-3 pieces together.

This work proposes a museum and creative space that showcases modern clay tiles in the building itself while also displaying artworks in exhibits. This work seeks to encourage exploration of modern-day tile making, within a space that encourages curiosity in the visitor while also allowing for creative exploration from them.

This work also explores creative processes of tile-making through experimental pieces that have been developed at Virginia Tech's clay studio and accompany this work.
