Wallpaper groups

by Toby Schachman

This entry is a stub, and will be expanded on a future archiving pass.

A dynamic book on the wallpaper symmetry groups. The book contains examples of each symmetry group in art throughout history and then lets you draw your own figure and see it tiled using that symmetry.

Based on The Symmetries of Things.

Later: Collidescope (2018)
