Synopsis:
Eric Nelsen, son of the accomplished architect Iben Nelsen, created the beautiful tiles found all around the Environmental Studies Building, which is  an example of his early works with wood fire and ceramic. The pieces reflect his belief that symbolism provides a window to the human journey and progression. His use of repeating shapes and vibrant colors are a main theme within the tiles, which were inspired by a large range of cultural and religious icons.

Below are the tiles from each floor of the Environmental Studies Building.
