Smart tiles systems - Spatial structures based on tile systems without external joints

The paper presents an ongoing research that examines the potential of creating and implementing infinite spatial tiling systems without external joints. It defines types of possible natural nets that have a potential of tiling, and inherent joining variations. In addition, it presents and discusses a case study in which an infinite spatial tile system was developed, and found its implementation as a Green Partition. Finally, it examines the potential and advantages of such systems.
