Module

This blog supports and materialises the development process of a new 12 week Digital Architecture and Fabrication module at the University of Nottingham. It is a common place for students to source information discussed during studio and seminar tutorials. Individual student blogs are linked to this page and together they form a small cohort of designers and researchers investigating architecture through advanced technology.

Fractal_ Penrose tilings

L-system

The following images were generated by an L-system. They are related and very similar to Penrose tilings, invented by Roger Penrose.







As an L-system these tilings are called Penrose's rhombuses and Penrose's tiles. The above pictures were generated for n = 6 as an L-system. If we properly superimpose Penrose tiles as an L-system we get next tiling:






otherwise we get patterns which do not cover an infinite surface completely:
