PAST AND FUTURE. OUR GRAIN TILES IN A PROJECT BY MGSO ARCHITECTS IN THE “WHITE CITY”
A small habitation constructed at the end of the 19th century in the historical centre of Ostuni in the Province of Brindisi, the desire to combine tradition and innovation and focus on detail.
The challenge faced by the architects Oronzo Scalone and Giovanni Moro of MGSO Architettura&Design in the “Casetta d l’Ora” project was just this.
TERRAZZO TILE FLOORING AND MODERN DESIGN, A CLASSY CHOICE
Turn your nose up at the thought of combining modern design with terrazzo tiles? You couldn’t be more wrong? Terrazzo tiles, highly traditional flooring that is often found in old houses, is still a highly elegant choice when combined with modern design.
In the January edition of AD you can see an example in a lovely Parisian apartment in Place Des Vosges.

Five exciting days, this was how it was for us at Cersaie, the international event for surface design and bathroom furnishing supplies.

Patchwork!
Patchwork or “pieced work” is a form of needlework that involves sewing together pieces of fabric into a larger design. The larger design is usually based on repeat patterns built up with different fabric shapes (which can be different colors). These shapes are carefully measured and cut, basic geometric shapes making them easy to piece together. Precise joining by the most part with a quarter inch foot makes for a patchwork that lies flat without puckers. (Wikipedia).
This technique was born in an age long and it comes from common sense: from the same principle were born terrazzo tiles floor, an industrial product born after the invention of Portland cement as a binder, an essential component to combine residues from processing of the precious marble in forms of different sizes.
As with delicious dishes, sausages and drinks often what comes from knowing “how to arrange” in time acquires a value that goes beyond the mere economic aspect, it is full of tradition, explains the context in which it was born and popular culture much more than many other witnesses of the past.
Unlimited possibilities, infinite soloutions.
Acquamarina, articolo 94
Il pontile verso rotonda ha il colore dell’acquamarina, se chiudi gli occhi e ti aggrappi alla balaustra ti sembra di aver poggiato i piedi sopra un’onda solida, ne senti il profumo ed il rumore, il frastuono a volte. Passo passo ti allontani dalla terra e piano ti tuffi in uno specchio d’acqua tondo che non bagna, senti col naso e con gli occhi il sale nell’aria, distingui il passaggio delle onde che vagano lontane dallo sbatter contro i granelli di sabbia; ti meraviglierai di come un orizzonte così semplice, una linea dritta contrastata di azzurro, porti con se migliaglia di poesie, di quadri, di amori, ti stupirai nel pensare che quella linea riflette l’iride di occhi che, come i tuoi, stanno scrutando il cielo, l’acqua e oltre, il mare.
Così nacque quel colore, frutto di uno lungo ed articolato studio sulle emozioni vissute in riva al mare, nato da precise osservazioni sui colori diversi riflessi dalle onde al mattino, alla sera e di notte.
