A Geometry of Early Islam – ABJAD, Circles and a Door

By 3D THINKING, ABJAD SYSTEM, CREATIVE GEOMETRY, EARLY ISLAMIC PERIOD, GEOMETRY THROUGH TIME, ISLAMIC ART, SACRED ARCHITECTURE, SACRED GEOMETRY

“3D Thinking” Pages 175 to 177 Islamic Geometry: This Seljuk period door dates from 13th-century Anatolia and stands as a possible example of a use of numeric values to communicate a message. The door’s design is based the Islamic “close-packing circle” method of design – in this case an arrangement of close-packing circles within a pentagon. The two primary numbers […]

Geometry New Golden Ratio Icon

By DIVINE PROPORTIONS, SACRED ARCHITECTURE, SACRED GEOMETRY

This new rogerburrowsimages.com icon shows the relationship between Le Corbusier’s ‘man’ and the “Golden Sphere” packing generated by the author’s “Dynamic Sphere” geometry. The packing generates three-dimensional “ideation lattices” from which design, art, and architectural forms can be extracted. As much as DaVinci’e “Vitruvian Man” represents a “whole number” proportionate system that dates back to […]
