## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of research on growth forms of tilings, highlighting key results and open problems.

## Key findings

- Identifies open questions and conjectures in the study of tiling growth forms.
- Discusses the diversity of growth behaviors in various tiling classes.

## Abstract

The growth form (or corona limit) of a tiling is the limit form of its coordination shells, i.e. its set of tiles located at a fixed distance from some tile. We give an overview of current results, conjectures and open questions about growth forms, including periodic, multigrid, substitution, and hat tilings.
