Islamic Design: A Genius for Geometry

More about the book

The book explores the rich craft traditions of the Islamic world, highlighting the evolution of styles across various media. Central to this art is harmony, expressed through two main elements: Arabic calligraphy, a revered tradition, and abstract ornamentation. The intricate designs feature crystalline geometric patterns that symbolize infinity and balance, alongside idealized plant forms that reflect organic life and rhythm. Together, these elements create a visually cohesive and recognizable aesthetic that defines Islamic art.
