The last lectures on one of my modules have been less about actual graphics and communication strategies, but about mathematical aspects of geometry in the area of tilings, e.g. Islamic tiling patterns in architecture.
Since it is part of an assignment for this module to create my own tiling pattern- which will seamlessly cover a plane without gap or overlap- I started researching and looking at some patterns and shapes I find interesting.
The first is an example similar to the ones we were shown in our lecture, exploring the variety and possibilities of what shapes can be created from just a few simple 3, 4, 5, and 6 sided shapes.
Below is a more complex Islamic pattern, which creates complex looking shapes by merely overlapping and intertwining larger shapes.
Above and below are some patterns I personally prefer for the warm colour palette and varied shapes. I find especially the 3D-implying cubes fascinating and inspiring for my assignment pattern.
