This building has appeared in Walworth behind the Elephant and Castle.
These coloured tiles look gorgeous. And they're ceramic too which gives them a sensible robustness most building cladding doesn't have.
I love the way they merged the colours in a pixelly way. It gives a must nicer gradient than a straight vignette would. The black and white bench is a nice touch too.
Lovely.
Wait so this is all ceramic? That's pretty impressive. I have never seen ceramic like that on the outside of a building. Do you still have to use ceramic tile underlayment with that? I know that with http://www.blankecorp.com/blanke-usa/products/waterproofing-and-multifunctional-underlayment-systems/blankepermat/product-information/ the uncoupling membranes is a lot easier, but I wonder how that would work on a huge building like that!

I am a mediocre artist, and never have I seen such an art placed up in such a place. With just a few different colored ceramic tiles from Ottawa, and a canvas to work on, someone had made something that is unique in more than just the normal ways. I congratulate anyone and everyone who did this!
