Creating a curved running bond paving pattern

Hello friends, I would like to learn how to create a running bond paver pattern following a curved path. My goal is to start off of one side of the path and generate the pattern following the curvature. The paver size doesn’t matter. and this is presentational so no joint gap is required, the paver can also be bent. How can I achieve this? And preferably can the result to be multiple closed curves for each paver? I want to further explore the possibility to add some sort of attractor to create variations to the paver type. Thanks a bunch!

my best guess would be to make a straight composition of tiles as long/wide as the central axis-curve that defines your final path, then use something like Sporph (in GH) to morph that straight composition from its Bounding Box into the Loft-Surface created between the inside/outside path-curves

if you want to apply any attractors of some sort (expecially making tiles smaller [meaning you’ll need more tiles to fill a certain area]) then maybe it’s better/easier to stay abundant when populating the initial straight path, so you have some “meat” to play with, and the path will always be filled by something
