The grid of the Tiling
The flow of the Styling
The growth within the Grid
For more shall pop out the Lid

On Periodic Tilings with Regular Polygons

A day when you tell someone about Ezequiel Soto's "Periodic #Tilings with #RegularPolygons" is never wasted!

Pack equal coins so each touches 6 neighbors. Surprisingly, any convex shape can (probably) too if copies are rotated 120°. I spotted this playing with my son’s blocks, then found it in Grünbaum & Shephard’s Tilings & Patterns (EPP21-4, Statement 7.5.6). https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Wct3DH

(1/?) Patterned Penrose Pentagon thread

I submitted this picture to the 2021 JMM Art Exhibition with the following description:

‘This year, Sir Roger Penrose won a Nobel Prize in physics for his work involving black holes. This piece is intended to be a general celebration of his work.

It consists of an impossible shape referred to as the Penrose Pentagon, which appears to be patterned with an Penrose rhombus tiling. In actuality, the tiling has been done over a large area, but is only visible through the strategically-aligned impossible shape, with shading providing the illusion of depth.

Last year the “shadow” of black hole at the center of galaxy M87 was “photographed” using the Event Horizon Telescope. Strangely enough, one can almost see a pentagon there. I have used a similar colour palette to tint this pentagon.’

‘Nasty’ Geometry Breaks Decades-Old Tiling Conjecture | Quanta Magazine

Mathematicians predicted that if they imposed enough restrictions on how a shape might tile space, they could force a periodic pattern to emerge. But they were wrong.

One more for today, also partly as a self-reminder to use hashtags. This is a single-armed spiral based on Marjorie Rice's "pentagonal versatile". I'm not sure this particular arrangement has been seen before. #tilings #spiral
