Cipra City: a map on a Donut
We've been captivated by the Cipra Loops tiles, and we've added another Barry Cipra invention to our lineup. Cipra has again found inspiration in the work of Sol Lewitt, who often...

Koch Snowflakes
The Koch snowflake is one of the first fractal curves to be described. Like other fractal curves, it has an infinitely long boundary, and the self-similarity is obvious as you...

Fibonacci, Sunflowers, Voronoi, and a Clock
Fibonacci's famous sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ...) has been linked to many natural phenomena. The arrangement of seeds in sunflowers is one...

Solving a Penrose P1 puzzle
The Penrose tilings, P1, P2, and P3 have many different solutions. It could be different every time, although you are likely to see strong similarities in the patterns. Chet and...
