Islamic geometry

Islamic geometry is an artistic tradition that uses geometric patterns to create intricate, symmetrical designs often found in mosques, palaces, and art. It employs mathematical principles such as symmetry, repetition, and tessellation to symbolize unity and the infinite nature of creation. Artists use compass and straightedge constructions to develop complex patterns that reflect spiritual ideals, emphasizing order and harmony. These designs avoid figurative imagery, focusing instead on abstract beauty, and serve both decorative and symbolic purposes, illustrating the importance of mathematics and artistry in Islamic culture.
