The binary tilling






The tesselation:
I started to explore the binary tilling, which is defined as a tiling by Penrose rhombs, where at each vertex all angles are either in {pi/5, 3 pi/5}, or in {2 pi/5, 4 pi/5}. ('Binary' because the decorations were used to model binary alloys, i.e., alloys consisiting of two metallic elements).

the matching rules for the tilling are:

every thin rhomb sharp angle attaches to every thick rhomb obtuse angle and vis versa.



the link shows you symetries within the tesselation
