With its concentration on geometrical forms, Islamic design offers
a rich source of patterns. Many are taken Moorish Spain and the
traditional sites of the Middle East and North Africa, but this
book also includes patterns which have been used in mosques in
Great Britain. This book provides a photographic exploration of the
magnificent designs and analysis of the designs using clear
drawings provides designers and artists with ideas and techniques
for their own work.
