SUBSTITUTION TILING ZOO

Level:3
Tiles:0
Chair Tiling
An L-shaped tromino subdivides into 4 smaller L-shaped trominoes. Scale factor: 2. Each chair tile is replaced by 4 rotated copies.
A menagerie of substitution tilings. Each starts with a prototile that is recursively subdivided into smaller copies of itself. The result is always aperiodic - it never repeats by translation alone.
