Description
Islamic geometric designs are admired worldwide for their beauty and marvellous intricacy, yet in truth they are seldom understood. The chapters in this book are devoted to each of the main ‘families’ of geometric design – fourfold, fivefold and sixfold – and to the complex ‘combined’ patterns. Every design is carefully explained and illustrated with a wealth of stunning photographs and clear, meticulously detailed drawings. Readers can even learn to reproduce and invent geometric patterns for themselves using a ruler and a pair of compasses.
