Unfolding Patterns of Wimbledon
From the brick pier, tiles unfold,
Colors of blue, umber, and grey,
Patterns repeat, forms take hold,
A signature on the wall’s display.
The door’s interruption, a break in flow,
Roof exposed to the open sky,
Windows above in filigree show,
Buff brick stands tall, drawing the eye.
Vertical grace in humble abode,
In lower Wimbledon’s quiet embrace,
Architectural whispers in coded ode,
A serene corner, a timeless space.

In honor of National Tile Day, we want to show you forbidden symmetries in tile patterns.
Here are photograph of tile panels from Ulugh Beg Madrasa in Uzbekistan. Peter Lu has been researching on medieval Islamic architecture for more than a decade. He comes from a scientific background as a physicist who became interested in forbidden symmetries in Islamic architecture, i.e., five-fold and ten-fold symmetries.
What does that mean? Lu explains as follows; “If I want to tile a floor with just one shape, I can ask: what are the symmetries that are possible? In the case of an ordinary bathroom floor, I might tile it with squares. Just like a checkerboard, I can cover the entire floor, at any size, with one square tile, and leave no gaps. Now, I can ask: what symmetry would such a pattern have? I can rotate the entire pattern 90-degrees, and get the same thing, since that is the symmetry of the square. Because I can do so four times before getting back to the original position, we call that “four-fold symmetry”. Now, I can also tile the floor with rectangles, which would give a two-fold symmetry; triangles, giving 3-fold; and hexagons, which gives a six-fold symmetry, as you know from looking at a honeycomb. But you can’t use a single pentagon to tile a floor, so the five-fold symmetry is forbidden for repeating a single unit, something that was understood by Johannes Kepler in the 1600s. It turns out that you can use two special shapes to tile a floor with five-fold symmetry, which was first worked out by a mathematician and physicist named Roger Penrose, but not until the 1970s.”
Now you know what forbidden symmetries are!

Discovered by the fusion of fire and clay, two ordinary elements of nature, benefits of fired ceramics were discovered some 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. The story of its evolution goes hand in hand with subsequent architectural developments through the ages, from the beautifully tiled surfaces in the ancient pyramids, to the magnificent courts of Babylonian cities, the use of ceramic tiles was inspired by the desire to create the most beautiful, durable spaces.
Decorative tilework has its origins in the Middle East and Persia, where it maintained wider popularity and assumed greater variety in design than anywhere else in the world. With distinctly varied styles, Persian and Moroccan tile industries flourished and attained perfection during the Islamic period. Due to its emphasis on non-representational design, Islamic designers and artisans found tile work a suitable medium to decorate their buildings with, so much so, that rich surface decorations became a hallmark of Islamic architecture and design.
The advent of Islam in the Sub-continent led to a fusion of culture, arts, and architecture. Sind and Multan became centers of tile production to satisfy the architectural boom, which ensued the Muslim conquest of India. Kahshigars(tile makers) from Persia to Andalus collaborated with local craftsmen and produced a rich blend of decorative tile work known as “blue tiles”, which are being produced even today in parts of Multan and Sind in Pakistan.

How to calculate the number of tiles you need?
Calculating the number of tiles you need depends on the area you want to cover with tiles and the size of the tiles you plan to use. Here are the steps to calculate the number of tiles you need:
Measure the area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to tile using a tape measure. Record the measurements in either feet or meters.
Determine the size of the tiles: Decide on the size of the tiles you want to use. Common tile sizes include 12 inches by 12 inches, 18 inches by 18 inches, and 24 inches by 24 inches. Make sure to measure the size of the tile in the same unit of measurement as the area you measured in step 1.
Calculate the area of one tile: To calculate the area of one tile, multiply the length and width of the tile. For example, if you are using 12-inch by 12-inch tiles, the area of one tile would be 144 square inches (12 inches x 12 inches).
Convert the area to the same unit of measurement: Convert the area of one tile to the same unit of measurement as the area you measured in step 1. For example, if you measured the area in square feet, convert the area of one tile to square feet.
Divide the area of the space by the area of one tile: Divide the total area you want to cover by the area of one tile. This will give you the number of tiles you need. Make sure to round up to the nearest whole number to account for any waste or extra tiles you may need.
For example, if you want to tile a bathroom floor that measures 8 feet by 10 feet using 12-inch by 12-inch tiles, you would follow these steps:
Measure the area: The area of the bathroom floor is 8 feet x 10 feet = 80 square feet.
Determine the size of the tiles: You plan to use 12-inch by 12-inch tiles.
Calculate the area of one tile: The area of one tile is 12 inches x 12 inches = 144 square inches, or 1 square foot and 1/9 square feet.
Convert the area to the same unit of measurement: The area of one tile is 1 square foot and 1/9 square feet.
Divide the area of the space by the area of one tile: The number of tiles needed would be 80 ÷ 1.125 = 71.11, so you would need to purchase 72 tiles (rounding up to the nearest whole number).
