The tiles were then printed to create a real-world Penrose tile form. You could certainly use these Penrose tiles as decor, though we’d make some recommendations if you’re going that path.
This is not the first time that a link between girih and Penrose tiling has been made. In 1992 the Danish crystallographer Emil Makovicky published a claim that a pattern found elsewhere in Iran was ...

Copies of these two tiles can form infinitely many different patterns that go on forever, called Penrose tilings. Yet no matter how you arrange the tiles, you’ll never get a periodic repeating ...
Penrose tilings have since entered the wild — adorning, for instance, a pedestrian street in Helsinki and the side of a transit center in San Francisco.
Physicist Peter Lu at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, realised the 15 th-century tiles formed so-called Penrose geometric patterns, when he spotted them on a visit to Uzbekistan.
Q: So I assume your father helped spark your discovery of Penrose tiles, repeating shapes that fit together to form a solid surface with pentagonal symmetry. A: It was silly in a way. I remember ...

This ever-changing surface is known as a Penrose tiling, after the mathematician Roger Penrose who first dreamed it up. It was seen as a death sentence for gliders: ...
