This paper deals with generation and structural properties of icosahedral quasicrystalline tilings consisting of the canonical rhombohedra. First, we characterize the plane and slab structure of ideal and random quasicrystals and discuss their implications for experiment. Second, we present a new method for generating non‐equilibrium random tilings called the addition method.
