This concept proposes a platform for creating architectural tiles that capture the atmosphere of real places. Photographs are used as input to extract color information, which is combined with weather data from the time and location the image was taken.
The collected data is translated into color patterns and surface relief, forming tiles that express environmental qualities rather than literal representations. Light, temperature, and spatial conditions are abstracted into material depth and texture, allowing each tile to hold the character of a specific moment.
The tiles are produced using additively fabricated mineral composites through 2.5D or 3D printing. The result is a series of tactile architectural surfaces suitable for private and public spaces, where environmental data becomes a physical and atmospheric material.
