Zusammenfassung:This is not the first time the Mathematical Communities column has featured the Bridges Organization: the 2005 conference, in the breathtaking Canadian Rocky Mountains at Banff, was described in these pages by Doris Schattschneider (Schattschneider 2006), a regular Bridges participant and Escher specialist. The 2005 conference saw the debut of Delicious Rivers, Ellen Maddow's play on the life of Robert Ammann, a postal worker who discovered a number of aperiodic tilings. Here, Fenyvesi discusses the history and art of Bridges community.
