A structure, devices comprising such structures, methods and systems for designing structures is provided. As an example, a structure may include a plurality of first type members, each first type member corresponding to a respective first type vertex of an underlying aperiodic tiled lattice; a plurality of second type members, each second type member corresponding to a respective second type vertex of the underlying aperiodic tiled lattice; and a plurality of revolute joints corresponding to respective edges of the underlying aperiodic tiled lattice and connecting respective joint parts of pairs of members, each pair comprising a first type member and a second type member; wherein: each respective revolute joint is located, with respect to a local position of the respective edge, at a first common normalized vector with respect to a local position of the respective first type vertex and at a second common normalized vector with respect to a local position of the respective second type vertex.
