Penrose Tiles: Student Work
In the theme of our current competition here is some work examples of architecture students from University of Greenwich. This was one of their early projects where they investigated Penrose tiles. The task was to draw a system and explore the never repeating patter. They then moved on to create three dimensional versions of the patters they created. Basically, Penrose tile is a mathematical system of generating patters that never repeat. Constructed of two rhombuses you can create an incredible number of wonderful variations.

You can read more about Penrose and his tiles on Wikipedia.
I will upload more photos of the work in the next 2 weeks or so once the 3rd year portfolios are marked. Enjoy..
