Cela fait longtemps que je n'ai pas profité des murs carrelés dans les climats chauds...
It's been a while since I enjoyed tiled walls in warm climates....

Ememem Playfully Revitalizes Cracked Pavement With Vibrantly Patterned Tiles via Colossal [Shared]
No crack in a wall, step, or curb is safe from Ememem’s delightful interventions. The Lyon-based artist (previously), also known as “the pavement surgeon,” continues to scout out gaps in sidewalks that he fills with colorful tiles. Akin to kintsugi, the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold to embrace the history of the object, Ememem’s technique doesn’t hide imperfections so much as highlight their possibilities. While making the surfaces safer to traverse, he adds gives new life to decaying urban walkways.

Some more beautiful Art Nouveau era tiles from a tenement close in the Mount Florida area of Glasgow. There really seems no end to the variety of these tiles, but given that almost 60% of all the tenements in the city were demolished between the 1950s and the 1980s, you have to wonder how many more designs have been lost forever.
