Inhalt
Inhalt: The main focus of this unique book is an in-depth examination of the polygonal technique, the primary method used in creating Islamic geometric patterns. The author details the methodology behind this dead art form and presents evidence from the historical record, both of which are a vital contribution to the ornamental tradition. Additionally, the author examines the role played by Islamic geometric patterns within the broader context of the historical development of Islamic ornament as a whole, the important role that geometry plays throughout the Islamic ornamental tradition (including calligraphy, the floral idiom, dome decoration, geometric patterns, and more), and the question of pattern classification.Featuring nearly 250 beautiful color images, Islamic Geometric Patterns: Their Historical Development and Traditional Methods of Derivation is a valuable addition to the literature of Islamic art, architecture and geometric patterns. This book is ideal for students and scholars of geometry, the history of mathematics, and the history of Islamic art, architecture, and culture. In addition, artists, designers, craftspeople, and architects will all find this book an exceptionally informative and useful asset in their fields.
