Rain Tiles
How does a city feel the rain?

  URBAN INTERVENTION         INTERACTION    


Urban weather is commonly experienced through forecasts that generalize complex conditions into abstract data. However, rainfall is highly site-specific, shaped by material, spatial, and architectural factors.

This project invites people to slow down and notice these subtle, localized variations. Through a series of small urban interventions, it transforms an otherwise unpleasant moment of rain into a sensory and intimate experience. The work focuses on overlooked imperfections in the city—such as missing tiles, chipped curbs, and broken bricks—that usually fade into the background of everyday movement. By allowing these elements to respond to rainfall, they become momentarily alive and perceptible.

Rain tile #1



“Breathe” fills the broken corner of a tile. When raindrops touch it, the light breathes softly, responding to the intensity of the rain. The city breathes with the weather. 


Rain tile #2



“Fill” replaces a missing tile with light. Each raindrop illuminates the point it touches, and over time the brightness accumulates, as if the tile were being filled by the rain itself. When full brightness is reached, it resets and begins again.
