World of Islam Festival Publishing Sold with reverent scruff by Crappy Old Books ? where the sacred meets the second-hand. Part scholarly study, part visual feast, Geometric Concepts in Islamic Art is a mind-expanding journey into the mathematical soul of Islamic aesthetics. Issam El-Said and Ayse Parman explore the intricate, symbolic geometry that underpins centuries of Islamic architecture, tilework, and manuscript design?with diagrams, commentary, and just the right amount of philosophical awe. First published in 1976 as part of the World of Islam Festival, this edition is a cult classic among artists, architects, and anyone who?s ever fallen into a trance staring at a Mamluk mosaic. Our copy? The corners are soft, the pages slightly foxed, and the cover has the worn grace of an old prayer mat. The spine?s holding together?mostly. Crappy Old Books ? Enlightenment, lightly dog-eared. Exceptionally well cared for, near new condition with protective plastic sleeve. the scan has cut off bits of the left and right of the book as its wider than the scanner, but you probably didn?t notice. The book is full size, as intended.

Add to basketEnc. en tapa blanda de la editorial. Folio. 154 pp. Texto en inglés. Totalmente ilustrado con fotografías de diversas arquitecturas de arte islámico y su traslación a dibujos geométricos para el mejor entendimiento de como están realizados. Scorpion Publishing Ltd. England, 1976. Una de las características definitorias del arte islámico es su abundante uso de patrones geométricos para adornar una amplia variedad de superficies arquitectónicas y decorativas. Las fuentes de las formas y patrones básicos utilizados en la ornamentación islámica tienen sus raíces en las tradiciones artísticas de los imperios bizantino y sasánida preislámicos. Durante la expansión temprana del Islam en los siglos VII y VIII, los artistas encontraron una variedad de patrones y diseños que adoptaron, abstrayéndolos y adaptándolos a nuevas formas y para apoyar nuevos usos. Aunque hay poca evidencia histórica que nos diga cómo funcionaban, sabemos que los artesanos islámicos continuaron elaborando estas formas a lo largo de los siglos, creando finalmente nuevos patrones geométricos abstractos que eran simétricos, proporcionales y equilibrados.Estos diseños a menudo se basaban en la replicación y repetición de una sola unidad en una secuencia de pasos para desarrollar el patrón general. Las obras de arte discutidas en esta unidad provienen de muchas regiones y abarcan desde el siglo XIII hasta el XVII. A pesar de las variaciones regionales, las áreas en las que se produjeron las obras están unidas por una apreciación y un gusto comunes por los patrones geométricos.
