Paris put on using a mould then hand painted or gilded.
So for the square lattice type a simple while loop would do. The 
paintings in the gaps could be applied separately

LOL, your idea of modernist is different than mine. I know what you mean

of the reach of everyone.
Still some modern buildings have their own beauty.
