Bendersky discovered a different type of quasiperiodic structure -- the decagonal phase with a 10-fold rotation axis, which has an apparent 10/mmm point group (Fig. Burkov of the Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics in Moscow realized that it was possible to create a quasiperiodic tiling by using 10-sided, or decagonal, tiles as the basic structural unit, provided that the tiles could overlap. Away from the river front, the yellow-framed silhouette of Bankside Lofts, completed earlier this year, towers over the Tate Bankside Gallery (due to be finished in May 2000); and at Atlas Works in Millwall an extraordinary collection of decagonal towers containing 150 flats has been given planning permission. |
