Wow! Just look at that! You can’t have vitrified tiles match any of this. Just keep watching this floor. Therapeutic!

Even if you try, you can’t get something like this in vitrified tiles. That feeling, that earthiness, that coarseness is only possible with Indian granite like this.

They can’t make like it anymore?!
That’s the Chicken Church of Indonesia. You can’t make such lovely spaces with vitrified tiles. In fact, no lovely spaces deserve vitrified tiles. But you can trust natural stone and marble and granite to help build lovely spaces and lovely places.

Are any machine-made copy-paste tiles any match to this?
And yet mad folks of today vitrify!
What a waste!
What a waste!
Is there anything more depressing than…
The other day I was at PVR Acropolis to watch Tapsee Pannu starrer Thappad. While the movie felt great, PVR’s renovation felt classic and plastic at the same time. When you visit there you’ll notice. The space feels spacious, the floor feels all plastic (courtesy the famed vitrified tiles).
Somewhere in the initial pages of Gavin McCrea’s Mrs Engels, there’s this exchange between Jenny and Lizzie, I can’t forget to share.
In her book, there’s naught worse than a new house that looks new. She said so just now before we left. ‘So long as the thirst for novelty exists independently of all aesthetics considerations,’ she went, ‘the aim of Manchester and Sheffield and Birmingham will be to produce objects which shall always appear new. And, Lizzie, is there anything more depressing than that lustre of newness?’
The lustre of newness is depressing indeed on most occasions. And in the case of copy-paste vitrified tiles, plastic too.
Architecture is not about space…
And there are folks who tile (funny vitrified tiles are in fashion these days) the space that they are going to spend their life in coz of lack of time! Funny!
Reminder.
Architecture is not about space but about time.

That is Teakwood Sandstone! Gorgeous for outdoors, or wall-cladding.
At Kensville Golf Club
Work in progress at Kensville Golf Club. There’s no match to the square cobble when it comes to paving outdoors or landscaping. Actually cobble-like stones with smooth surfaces would make amazing indoor flooring too. But then, so many are fooled by the convenience of vitrified tiles.
Lotus blooms among cobbles
Passing through the S.G. Highway before the Nirma Uni campus coming from the Thaltej side of Ahmedabad, you might chance upon this building. Natural multi-hued cobble-stone drive-way.
Cobblestone grid
As you see above, we’ve placed different types of natural cobblestone in varying sizes here: granite, marble, sandstone, basalt. Not an exhaustive aggregation but gives you an idea.

How they look!
All those work-in-progress pics posted earlier lead to this… Look beautiful. Adhunik Brown 75mm thick granite benches. That cavity serves as a planter. A few years hence, there’ll be trees, and lot of shade, god willing, and the promenade may just become a lovely place to hang out…
