As you know, the Andrew Wiles Building is 10 in October. From its conception, the idea was to have maths embedded in the design, from the North and South crystals to the arithmetic progression of the columns in reception. However, the most striking example, of course, is the Penrose tiling which has trended on and off on mathematical social media for most of the ten years.

In case you haven't seen it, here is a timelapse of the laying of the tiling. A short version of this can be found on our social media channels (links at the bottom of the Bulletin).
