GEOMETRY IN ISLAMIC TRADITION

A sub-discipline of mathematics, geometry frequently appears in architectural designs and patterns along with other fields of application. Geometric art is often comprised of various patterns and complex tessellations. In architectural design, we experience geometry in three dimensions. The reason for our admiration of architectural structures built with the inspiration of complex geometric tessellations is the geometrical art design combined with the dexterous use of symmetrical calculations and patterns. The geometrical art intrinsic to the architectural structures designed by Muslim artists comes to life with the use of simple, interlaced, and overlapping geometric patterns we see in daily life combined with a strict set of rules. This video is an introduction to two main research disciplines with regard to the application of geometry in the Islamic artistic tradition. The first one informs about the use of geometry in two-dimensional artistic expressions, and the second is on the application of three-dimensional geometry in architecture.

“The Pioneers of Modern Science: History of Islamic Science and Technology” exhibition provides the opportunity to get to know the scientists and their work that had built the foundations of disciplines such as algebra, mechanics, medicine, astronomy and physics; inspired the scientists and artists from other cultures and laid the foundations of modern science. The exhibition also explores the ability of scientists to study and translate the work of Greek, Indian and Chinese cultures and bring them into their own civilization and develop new methods.
