Geometric Patterns from Islamic Art and Architecture: And how to draw them

Description

Patterns from Islamic architecture and art that are a rich and wonderful source for those wanting to explore the boundaries of art and mathematics. The patterns in this book are from some of the world’s great mosques, as well as mosaics, doors and windows from the Muslim world. Each is explored and demonstrated so that they can be used in your own designs. They are perfect follow up activities for trips to these magnificent places. Robert Field has travelled extensively and has taken his camera and a keen eye with him wherever he has gone. Many people will be both surprised and delighted by the sheer number and variety of interesting patterns that he has discovered. This is one of a series of Geometric Patterns books that will appeal both to those who have a particular interest in the topic covered but also to those who are looking for a rich resource of pattern designs. Review: Tesselation Collection - This little book provides a satisfying variety of patterns taken from tiles, windows and walls. The author provides a repeat analysis for each pattern. Review: Ebook version is so tiny and barely legible. - I bought the Kindle edition to save money and space. The content looks great but it appears small in Kindle reader. I don’t have the option of zooming or changing the font size. Leaving one star because the ebook version is barely legible and it sucks because I want to see the diagrams in detail but the software itself doesn’t allow me. I am disappointed with Kindle in general.
