In terms of mosaic patterns, if you can imagine it, you can create it. From vivid colors and on-trend shapes to unique patterns and bold borders, one simple design can turn any space into an incredible work of art. There are hundreds of patterns and borders available that can be modified to comple- ment any design scheme. Many mosaics are available in custom (made to order) and standard patterns that can be used in any ap- plication. On the level for proper installation The primary challenges with large-format tile patterns are foundation and installation. For large-format tiles, the foundation must be perfectly level, which at times requires exten- sive preparation work for the surface. It may also require a crack-prevention membrane. Also, during installation it may require extra setting material and extra manpower, since the large tiles may be difficult to maneuver. 6 Ceramic & Tile Industries Magazine Ceramic & Tile Industries Magazine 7 Vol. 03 No. 04 Winter 2014 tile is a manufactured piece of is derived from the French word tuile, which is, Floor tiles Some stone tiles such as polished granite, mar- stone while limestone is an example of a more hard-wearing material such as ceram- in turn, from the Latin word tegula, meaning These are commonly made of ceramic or stone, ble, and travertine are very slippery when wet. porous stone.

Avellaneda (1) PhD student of Architecture – Architectural Buildings Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain (2) Doctor of Architecture – Architectural Buildings I Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain 1 CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) 1. PRESENTANTION This paper is based on the doctoral thesis, directed by Doctor Jaume Avellaneda Diaz-Grande and prepared for the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, by the architect María Celina Vacca entitled “The Cladding of Architectural Surfaces with Ceramic Tiles – a Comparative Study of the Evolution of Materials, Manufacturing Techniques and Installation in the Main Production Centres in Spain and Other Countries from the Industrial Revolution to the Present”. The primary reason for writing this thesis is to identify the role of ceramics in the history of Spanish architecture. Based on the Spanish-Arab tradition and passed on over the centuries, the industry started with the first earthenware tiles made in Malaga in the XIIIth century, then in Manises in the XVth century and in Catalonia in the XIXth century. It was in that century that Spain was recognized throughout Europe as the country with the longest historical tradition in this material. This is why this thesis focuses on studying ceramics in the period from the Industrial Revolution to the present day from the perspective of new trends and technological advances in the manufacture, installation,

    An Introduction to Islamic Archaeology Archaeology Islamic To

    13064 eup Milwright:layout 9/2/09 12:33 Page 1 AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC ARCHAEOLOGY In the beginning was the Qur’an,- the first book of Islam and also the first book of Arabic literature. Occasioned by the need to understand and interpret the word of God, and the teachings of the Prophet Muh. ammad, Muslims made an inventory and study of their tradition. This involved the collection, transmission and instruction of the sacred text, of the words and deeds of Muh. ammad, and also of poetry, from both before and after the rise of Islam – indeed of all matters regarded as pertinent to the proper and scholarly study of the tradition. This activity, which began in the last third of the seventh century, relied predominantly on aural study with a master, that is, on oral communication between teacher and student, although writing was already an integral part of this process. In the present work Gregor Schoeler explains how Muslim scholarship evolved from aural to read. The result was the genesis of one of the richest literatures of late antiquity and the early middle ages, as is clear from the widespread dissemination of scholarship through writing and the attendant proliferation of books. Gregor Schoeler is Professor and Chair of Islamic Studies in the Orientalisches Seminar at the University of Basel. His many publications include The Oral and the Written in Early Islam (2006). Shawkat M. Toorawa is Associate Professor of Arabic Literature and Islamic Studies at Cornell University. He is the author of Ibn Abi Tahir Tayfur and Arabic Writerly Culture (2005).

With almost all of the pieces dating from the most important period of production in the 16th century, the collection comprises over 80 vessels and is estimated to realise in excess of £1.3 million. Chosen for the brilliance of design and colour, the collection also features some of the most impressive blue and white Iznik dishes ever made. With prices ranging from £1,200 to £150,000, the collection will have wide appeal. Interest in works of art from Turkey is ever increasing as this week sees the opening of the exhibition, Turks: a Journey of a Thousand Years 600-1600, at London’s Royal Academy of Arts. The painted wares from Iznik represent the apogee of technical and aesthetic achievement of Islamic ceramic production. Manufactured at Iznik, south-east of Istanbul in north-west Anatolia (Asian Turkey), this pottery has been prized in both Europe and the Orient since production began in the late 15th century. The Vincent Bulent Collection has been formed with an eye to the long tradition of collecting; of particular interest were vessels with a long provenance, chosen for the design and vibrancy of colour. It includes pieces from almost all the great collections of Iznik Page 1 of 3 formed since the 19th century - British and French collections of the 19th centruy; Alexandrine collections of the first half of the 20th century, as well as Amercian and Arab collections.

T. Selli* Eczacibasi Building Products Co. VitrA Innovation Center Bozuyuk/Bilecik, Turkey A synthetic whitening composition is proposed as a whitening agent of porcelain tile body with a certain amount for the turning the body colour into whiteness. Active component used in the agent is zirconium silicate and this component is aected by the market speculation.This situation increases considerably the production costs. For these reasons an alternative whitening composition is required. The aim of the study is to prepare new whitening composition without zirconium silicate, with controlling crystalline phases in the porcelain stoneware tile, and to carry out characterization studies (such as XRD, SEM and EDX) and to correlate the whiteness value and the amount and type of crystalline phases in the porcelain tiles.
