Abstract
Symmetric tilings are an ancient, ubiquitous, and beautiful motif in decoration. Perhaps the most famous examples are found at the Alhambra in Granada. Of course, a physical tiling on a wall or floor ends at the corners of the room. This is unfortunate; in our mind the tiling goes on forever. This raises the question of how we can capture an infinite tiling in a finite space.

Description: | We discuss the art and science of producing conformally correct euclidean and hyperbolic tilings of compact surfaces. As an example, we present a tiling of the Chmutov surface by hyperbolic (2, 4, 6) triangles. |
