The Andrew Wiles Building at Oxford University

This amazing Penrose floor design at The Andrew Wiles Building at Oxford University was produced by CNC and waterjet cutting stainless steel shapes and inlaying them into granite units. The pattern is an example of a Penrose tiling, named after its discoverer Sir Roger Penrose, a celebrated professor at the university. The pattern is constructed in such a way that no matter how large an area is covered, the pattern never repeats itself. The diamond pattern used in Oxford is an example of Penrose’s third pattern, known as P3.
