Geometric stars and girih
Draw a true girih patch from its five tiles, or a star pattern on regular polygons, then download a seamless repeat, a stencil and a wall panel.
The repeat, tiled to fill the square.
Original constructions. This patch was found by a computer search for periodic layouts of the five tiles, and it isn't copied from any building. Only the 10-fold option is called girih here.
