Tessellation is a repeating pattern of the same shapes without any gaps or overlaps. These patterns are found in nature, used by artists and architects and studied for their mathematical properties.

How I Use Nature's Patterns to Optimize Garden Design Patterns help us find efficiencies—to see the path of least resistance—and learn from nature what works best.

Photoshop CC tutorial showing how to create a tessellation pattern from scratch. Tessellations are repeating patterns comprised of negative and positive tiles that interlock together, similar to a ...

Apart from flat patterns, she has also made chain-linked smocked scarves stitched into a circular pattern and several examples of origami tessellations transferred to fabric smocking.

Each tessellation should plot to exactly one point within the plane. A perfect honeycomb pattern, for instance, is a tessellation of six-pointed hexagons that meet in trios at each vertex — a point at ...

Tessellations and transformational geometry (for example, slides, flips and turns) provide visually rich designs to explore geometry, patterning, spatial sense/relationships and the integration of ...

Tessellation patterns that have fascinated mathematicians since Kepler worked out their systematics 400 years ago -- and that more recently have caught the eye of artists and crystallographers ...
