What is Pattern
in Photography?
A pattern is created wherever
strong graphic elements repeat.
Texture is also a kind of pattern.
But it is one in its most tactile
form̶the weave of your knitted
jumper, the rough surface of a
brick, for example.
The human brain likes patterns.
Patterns in photography create
attention. You might pass by the
same row of houses on your way
to work. But what if you align the
roofs in the right way? Then that
familiar view looks different.

® ARCHITECTURAL
TEXTURES/
REFLECTIONS /
DETAIL
Focus on the materials that
the house is built from. You
can intensify and abstract
the material detail with a
light source (phone, flash,
flashlight} shone from low
angles.

White travertine / The Italian
almost white travertine (Tivoli
locality) ranks among the original
stone elements. This was employed
in the interiors on, for example, the
floors of the entrance hall and the
staircases, and in the exteriors on
the parapet and the bases of the
upper terrace and the garden
terrace with the stairs.
Steel/ The whole house is propped
up on an internal steel structure,
visible through steel columns inside
the house.
Concrete/ the fundamental
material used to build the house
Vila Tugendhat materials
Onyx / The so-called onyx wall is
a truly remarkable decorative and at
the same time functional stone
element in the interior of the Villa.
The honey-coloured, yellow rock with
white veins was mined from the Atlas
Mountains in former French Morocco
in North Africa. The special
characteristics of the onyx are
intensified during the winter sunny
days.
You can see from outside it if you go
to the side of the house where the
indoor garden is.
