This is a generalised sequence of equal-edged hexagon tilings and the field patterns derived from them.. related to the last couple of posts. Much to ponder..... #geometry #geometric #pattern #design #drawing #islamicgeometry #islamicpattern #symmetry #star

Building on this construction from Al Buzjani, I'v Building on this construction from Al Buzjani, I've found a satisfying, outside in, centred method which starts by establishing the unusual rectangle proportions from a master circle. I've also extrapolated it to apply the same principle to tenfold symmetry. What's most interesting and perplexing is that the proportions of the rectangles for each are almost the same, imperceptibly so. This study of irregular hexagonal tilings has opened up a family of related patterns in different symmetries which I will share in the future. A number of others have explored this pattern recently with useful insights.. @mathemartiste @kamikyodai @geomicon @zerometry #geometry #pattern #islamicgeometry #islamicpattern #design #drawing #rulerandcompass
