July 2024. A terrace in Istria. Tiles half-laid, some already fixed, a template that doesn't match the floor, an unanswered voice call from Brussels. 480 limestone pieces, CNC-cut from a shape proven mathematically a few months before. One constraint: no tile can be flipped.

Three months, a long hot summer to find out if the pattern held.
