Omaggio a Penrose: progettare e costruire un kit per una tassellazione aperiodica del piano
How to make tiles (of two kinds only) to obtain an aperiodic plane tessellation (always different due to the multiple choices): from an idea of Roger Penrose, in 1974, a mathematician and new Nobel laureate in Physics for a pioneering work on black holes.
Using the software GeoGebra, I will show the geometric construction of Penrose’s tiles and how to produce an application to simulate the tessellation making.
An interdisciplinary educational activity: in a high school class how to project and construct the tiles using a numerical cutting machine.
