This origami tessellation is built from the same kind of molecule as Pythagorean Tiling but molecules are arranged differently: in any pair of adjacent neighbors, each has a different direction of rotation (chirality). This different layout results in a significant change to the way the complete model looks.
Designed by myself, and independently by many people before me (see the description of Pythagorean Tiling for some examples; for exactly the same arrangement of molecules, see Madonna Yoder’s version, or the one by Alex Bateman.
This model is the starting point for my Woven Triangles tessellation series.
