Target entity: Tilings and Patterns Context triple: [Branko Grünbaum, notableWork, Tilings and Patterns]
-
A.
Alhambra tilings
Alhambra tilings are the intricate, mathematically structured geometric patterns found in the Alhambra palace in Spain, renowned for their use of symmetry and tessellation.
-
B.
Penrose tilings
Penrose tilings are non-periodic tilings of the plane that use a small set of shapes to create patterns with fivefold symmetry and no translational repetition, widely studied in mathematics and physics.
-
C.
Tessellate
"Tessellate" is a moody, intricately arranged indie rock track by British band Alt‑J, known for its cryptic lyrics, off-kilter rhythms, and atmospheric production.
-
D.
The Fifty-Nine Icosahedra
The Fifty-Nine Icosahedra is a classic mathematical monograph by H. S. M. Coxeter that systematically classifies and analyzes the distinct stellations of the regular icosahedron.
-
E.
Regular Division of the Plane
Regular Division of the Plane is a series of graphic works by M. C. Escher exploring intricate, interlocking tessellations that completely cover the plane with repeating figures.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
