Brunno Klosowski - Tile Mosaic

Tile Mosaic

2024 / Python

Coding project for creative purposes utilizing Python and the PIL library.

While working at YVA Arquitetura, the office was commissioned to design a unique bathroom tile layout for a residential project. The clients selected three tile models inspired by the renowned artist Athos Bulcao and requested a randomized mosaic that creatively incorporated these tiles.

To meet this request, I developed a Python script that generates randomized tile mosaic simulations. The code uses the Pillow library to arrange and rotate the chosen tile images within a defined grid, adding realistic grout spacing between tiles. Each simulation presents a different combination, helping the client visualize various layout possibilities before final selection.

I structured the code by combining my own research with support from ChatGPT, allowing me to quickly prototype and refine the solution based on project needs.

# Variables

tile_size = 124 # Tile size

grout_width = 4 # Grout width

tiles_x = 20 # Number of tiles in the X direction

tiles_y = 11 # Number of tiles in the Y direction

simulations = 10 # Number of simulations to be generated

# Base path

# File paths

tile_paths = [

f"{base_path}\\2.jpg",

f"{base_path}\\3.jpg"

]

# Create tile mosaic

mosaic_width = (tiles_x * tile_size) + ((tiles_x - 1) * grout_width)

mosaic_height = (tiles_y * tile_size) + ((tiles_y - 1) * grout_width)

tiles = [Image.open(path).resize((tile_size, tile_size)) for path in tile_paths]

def create_mosaic():

mosaic = Image.new('RGB', (mosaic_width, mosaic_height), color=grout_color)

for y in range(tiles_y):

for x in range(tiles_x):

tile = random.choice(tiles).rotate(random.choice([0, 90, 180, 270]))

pos_x = x * (tile_size + grout_width)

pos_y = y * (tile_size + grout_width)

mosaic.paste(tile, (pos_x, pos_y))

return mosaic

for i in range(simulations):

mosaic = create_mosaic()

mosaic.save(f"{base_path}\\mosaic_{i+1}.jpg")

print(f"Simulation {i+1} saved successfully.")
