Quaquaversal tiling

Quaquaversal tiling

The quaquaveral tiling is an nonperiodic three dimensional substitution tiling of space proposed by John Conway and Charles Radin. The basic solid tiles are half prisms arranged in a pattern which relies essentially on their previous construct, the pinwheel tiling.
