High Level Geometric Patterns in Islamic Architecture

Geometry has long been one of the most refined languages of Islamic art and architecture. This remarkable volume brings together internationally recognised experts in the study of Islamic geometric design, including Alan Adams, Ameet Hindocha, Daud Sutton, Goossen Karssenberg, Islam Farid, Rajen Astho, Reinout Engel, Richard Henry, and Saeid Shakouri. Through detailed analyses and drawing methods, the book explores some of the most intricate geometric patterns found in Islamic art, revealing step by step how these remarkable designs are constructed and the geometric principles that govern them. By sharing their research methods and practical approaches, the contributors illuminate both the technical precision and intellectual depth of a knowledge tradition that has been transmitted across centuries. A pioneering reference for researchers, artists, architects, and designers interested in understanding geometry as a language of design.
