3. Mosaic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic

   A tile mosaic is a digital image made up of individual tiles, arranged in a non-overlapping fashion, e.g. to make a static image on a shower room or bathing pool floor, by breaking the image down into square pixels formed from ceramic tiles (a typical size is 1 in × 1 in (25 mm × 25 mm), as for example, on the floor of the University of ...

4. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

   The pattern represented by every finite patch of tiles in a Penrose tiling occurs infinitely many times throughout the tiling. They are quasicrystals: implemented as a physical structure a Penrose tiling will produce diffraction patterns with Bragg peaks and five-fold symmetry, revealing the repeated patterns and fixed orientations of its tiles ...

5. Aperiodic tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperiodic_tiling

   Notably, Jarkko Kari gave an aperiodic set of Wang tiles based on multiplications by 2 or 2/3 of real numbers encoded by lines of tiles (the encoding is related to Sturmian sequences made as the differences of consecutive elements of Beatty sequences), with the aperiodicity mainly relying on the fact that 2 n /3 m is never equal to 1 for any ...

6. Tile art - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tile_art

   Printed Tile Art. Tile art is a small arrangement of tiles, or in some cases a single tile, with a painted pattern or image on top. Tile art includes other forms of tile-based art, such as mosaics, micromosaics, and stained glass. [1] Unlike mosaics, tile art can include larger pieces of tiles that are pre-decorated.

   A temple mosaic from the ancient Sumerian city of Uruk IV (3400–3100 BC), showing a tessellation pattern in coloured tiles. Tessellations were used by the Sumerians (about 4000 BC) in building wall decorations formed by patterns of clay tiles.
