An exploration of the construction and meaning of Islamic geometric
patterns.
Throughout their long history the craft traditions of the Islamic
world evolved a multitude of styles applied to a great variety of
media but always with unifying factors that make them instantly
recognizable. Harmony is central. There are two key aspects to the
visual structure of Islamic design--calligraphy using Arabic script
(one of the world's great calligraphic traditions) and abstract
ornamentation using a varied but remarkably integrated visual
language. Focusing on Islamic geometric patterns, simple and
complex, man-made and in nature, this book offers unique insight
into Islamic culture.
