Abstract: In this paper we demonstrate a new phenomenon in the area of tilings, a direct analogue of 1D interface and 1D grain boundary. The latter terms come from material science and describe defects in a polycrystalline material. The most important feature is that our construction is deterministic: starting from a finite configuration of painted tiles in a 1-isohedral tiling (a "seed"), an analogue of polycrystalline material with defects is produced in a purely automatic way. Different crystals in this material can be immediately adjoined, be fused with another 1D crystal, or may have 1D crystal as an interface. All these phenomena are explicitly demonstrated with type 4 pentagonal tiling, which is topologically equivalent to a periodic domino tiling.
