Abstract Tiling floors is a very old pratice or profession. When designing the interior of buildings or rooms or the lay-out of streets or gardens an architect may also design the patterns for the paving. In this task students design a floor tiling pattern for a kitchen using at least two different types of ceramic tiles (having different sizes or different shapes). The pattern has to be independent of the size of the tiles. Documents Copyright/Creative Commons Mascil partner: RO  Materials are published under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.    |
