FOA Design Tile-Covered Facade for Ravensbourne College, London, 2010

Inspired by gothic rose windows and flower patterns, Foreign Office Architects created a beautiful tile-covered facade for the Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication in London. In 2010, the FOA design duo, Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera-Polo, constructed the facade featuring a non-periodic tiling pattern that utilized 28,000 anodized aluminum tiles. The three colored tiles varied in size depending on the designated location of the windows.
