你是否對這些景象感到熟悉呢？
「瓷磚」構成了臺灣的日常面貌，拼出家的一方風景。
時間流轉，新大樓逐漸取代老公寓，這些熟悉的風景隨著城市的代謝慢慢褪色，有一天終會走入歷史。

Do these scenes feel familiar to you? “Tiles” have shaped the everyday landscape of Taiwan, creating a unique mosaic of our homes. As time passes, new buildings gradually replace old apartments, and these familiar scenes fade with the city’s transformation. One day, they will inevitably become a part of history.

瓷磚圖樣代表了一部台灣人的生活美學系統

Tile Patterns Represent a System of Taiwanese Life Aesthetics

老瓷磚不再生產，珍貴圖樣卻未被保存！

Old Tiles Are No Longer Produced, Yet Their Precious Patterns Have Not Been Preserved!

隨著技術革新與建築風格轉變，這些多變有趣的老瓷磚退下舞台，被現代的石英磚、石板磚所取代。但我們發現，過去已經停產的老瓷磚，圖樣卻沒有被完整的保存下來，臺灣將失去寶貴的圖樣資產，未來如果要復刻老瓷磚或其他形式的利用都將面臨困難。

With the advancement of technology and changes in architectural styles, these diverse and intriguing old tiles have been replaced by modern quartz tiles and slate tiles. However, we have realized that the patterns of these discontinued old tiles have not been fully preserved. Taiwan is on the brink of losing these valuable design assets, which will pose significant challenges for future efforts to replicate or repurpose them in any form.

看似平凡的背後，是生活與記憶的結晶

Behind Their Seemingly Ordinary Appearance Lies the Crystallization of Life and Memory

觀察身邊的生活環境，過去是否從未好好的認識瓷磚這個看似很平凡的東西，其精緻的釉料表面、手繪印刷的圖樣、拼貼組合的方式等等，都充滿變化與趣味。時間與生活的痕跡更增添了一層屬於臺灣的文化特色。

Have you ever truly appreciated tiles, which may seem quite ordinary at first glance? Their exquisite glazed surfaces, hand-painted patterns, and various mosaic compositions are all full of variation and charm. The traces of time and daily life further enrich them with a unique cultural characteristic that belongs to Taiwan.

實際走過台灣，才發現有太多有趣的瓷磚等著被欣賞、發掘

Many Fascinating Tiles Awaiting Appreciation and Exploration

我們行走過臺灣本島與金門超過50個鄉鎮市區，穿梭無數街道與巷弄間，找尋並記錄臺灣各地老民宅外牆、內壁與地磚等保留的瓷磚。我們希望，臺灣能有一本完整介紹臺灣的瓷磚歷史、一覽瓷磚圖樣之美的書籍。

We have walked through more than 50 towns and districts across Taiwan and Kinmen, weaving through countless streets and alleys to seek out and document the tiles preserved on the exterior walls, interior walls, and floors of old residences. We hope that Taiwan will have a comprehensive book introducing the history of its tiles and showcasing the beauty of their patterns.
