This is the Gherkin building in London, UK. In order to be energy efficient, the building was designed to use half as much energy as most large buildings. Many of its features (Such as its curved shape and the gaps in between floors creating a natural ventilation system) express the concept the architecture can be both functional and creative. If the vertical height of each diamond-shaped section is approximately m. Is the pattern on the building an example of a tessellation? Explain.
