| Sep 10 at 15:55 | comment | added | David E Speyer | It looks to me like, topologically, this is the standard hexagonal tiling, but the hexagons are irregular and each is subdivided into two or three pieces. | |

| Sep 10 at 7:24 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | you are right, the wall tiles are also in terminal B, not C, my mistake | |
| Sep 10 at 7:15 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Carlo, you may be right, but the quote I gave begins, "Our handmade mosaic tiles cover nearly 25,000 square feet of LaGuardia Airport's newly renovated Terminal B. Designed by critically acclaimed painter Laura Owens, this monumental ceramic tile mosaic," | |
| Sep 10 at 6:41 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | @GerryMyerson -- that quote refers to wall tiles in terminal C, the floor tiles are in terminal B | |
| Sep 10 at 6:25 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | It says, "this monumental ceramic tile mosaic, titled I 🍕NY, features 80 iconic references that capture the spirit of NYC, including the Apollo Theater, the Stonewall Inn, a MetroCard, and of course, pizza." I think they're talking about a different part of the terminal. fireclaytile.com/gallery/detail/… | |
