Mosaic Sundial on Facade: A Synthesis of Art and Functionality

#2108. Mosaic Sundial on Facade: A Synthesis of Art and Functionality

Before us is a magnificent example of decorative facade design in the form of a mosaic sundial. This exquisite architectural detail represents a complex composition executed in mosaic technique using multicolored stones.

The central element of the composition is a stylized image of the sun with a human face in the upper part. Rays extend from it, forming a sundial with Roman numerals from I to XII arranged in an arc. A metal gnomon (rod) casts a shadow, allowing time to be determined.

The framing of the sundial is designed as a lush floral ornament with roses, green leaves, and blue ribbons, giving the composition a festive, cheerful character. The color palette of the mosaic is built on a harmonious combination of golden-yellow, white, red, green, and blue shades.

This architectural element is not only a functional device but also a bright artistic accent on the building's facade, demonstrating the synthesis of art and practical utility characteristic of traditional European architecture.
