Casa Rajuela“, Mexico: tiny ships sailing along the façade

 

Looking at the wall, one is reminded of tiny ships stacked one on top of the other. In fact the architects did nothing but upturn the ancient rule that joints between stone blocks should be as narrow as possible – nearly invisible. Here, the stones are irregular, almost round, leaving great spaces between each – the over-all picture is one of a myriad of tiny ships sailing together in the wind.
