Description
Islamic Design: A Genius for Geometry by Daud Sutton This book explores the construction and meaning of Islamic geometric patterns, revealing the harmony and unity that underpin this ancient craft. At its core, Islamic design combines two key elements: calligraphy using Arabic script, and abstract ornamentation using a distinctive visual language. Through a focus on Islamic geometric patterns, both simple and complex, man-made and found in nature, Sutton offers unique insight into Islamic culture. By examining the intricate designs that have been created over centuries, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this rich and fascinating tradition.
