The mosaic was constructed from hundreds of wooden shields with South African patterns in 2014. It emerged from the collaboration between residents from the Transvaal buurt, among others. The mosaic was intended to confirm or emphasize the neighborhood's connection with South Africa.

Ememem Playfully Revitalizes Cracked Pavement With Vibrantly Patterned Tiles via Colossal [Shared]
No crack in a wall, step, or curb is safe from Ememem’s delightful interventions. The Lyon-based artist (previously), also known as “the pavement surgeon,” continues to scout out gaps in sidewalks that he fills with colorful tiles. Akin to kintsugi, the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold to embrace the history of the object, Ememem’s technique doesn’t hide imperfections so much as highlight their possibilities. While making the surfaces safer to traverse, he adds gives new life to decaying urban walkways.
Love the mosaics lining the corridor leading up to the boardroom of the former Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow.
It became part of the Clyde Port Authority (the name surrounding the compass rose) in 1966, which was created through a merger of Clyde Navigation trust, the Greenock Harbour Trust and the Clyde Lighthouses Trust.
Love this compass rose mosaic at the entrance to the Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow. The Clyde Navigation Trust was created in 1858 to managed all aspects of the port of Glasgow, including ensuring the Clyde remained navigable.

Love these mosaics above the entrance to a modern block of flats on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. In my opinion, this is the type of thing we need a lot more of on modern buildings to help make them much more locally distinctive.
Decorative detail over an entrance to the Corona Bar on Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow. The symbol in the middle is a play on the local place name Crossmyloof.

This beautiful piece of architectural artwork is one of a pair of mosaic peacocks over the entrance to Salmon and Gillespie's 1899 Glasgow Style Savings Bank building on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of the city. I wonder how many people past this building each day and never notice these decorative details?
Located on Tlingit land.
