Geometry with Cut MATs
A booklet about the 2-D and 3-D geometrical possibilities opened up by cutting regular polygonal tiles.
Whatever happened to...
We are re-discovering out of print publications like this with a timeless quality and frequently requested. They are now available again as ATM Heritage publications.
First published several years ago, this publication has been re-issued as a PDF since it still has value as way to stimulate creative thinking and constructive discussion.
The first MATs were designed by Adrian Pinel and produced by ATM in 1980. Since then the range has expanded
MATs began with the equilateral property that allowed different MATs to be edge matched.
With two of these new MATs this property remains, but with the new triangles, there is a different edge length. This is in golden proportion to the original. Through this, many exciting new possibilities for 2D and 3D exploration of space are opened up.
Not all of the ideas and explorations in this book are restricted to cuts of the pentagonal MATs. Some require the cutting of the larger MATs, from regular hexagon to regular dodecagon.
