If memory serves, that project is actually bricks mounted in a frame, he used terra cotta on the Alexander Plaz project.
Tiling implies a grid or repetitive patterns. This tiled facade by auguste perret goes against the typology because he didn't predetermine a pattern. He gave his tilers some petal shaped tiles, and some circles and asked them to to something floral with them. The result is varied, looser and more tactile.

Did Hardy Holzman do any ceramic tile facades way back?
the foa penrose tiling vis-a-vis perret's is really intriguing, thanks
Charles Walker has done something not-facade, but not structure
There is also this ceramiskin I found interesting

A good company to look at is Heath Tiles in California. They do nice stuff, and they're the sort of company you can work with to develop bespoke sollutions for shape, size, finish ...etc.

BIG used some ceramic tiles in the VM houses, Copenhagen. I don't really like it, but take a look at it

The Hollywood branch of the LA Public Library by Gehry, one of my favorites of his. The blue bulkhead in the foreground is good old 4x4 glazed ceramic tile.

ZIP complex (Vienna 2007). The ventilated façade with its protruding volumes reminds of a zip fastener. Architect Semir Zubcevic.
