Arabic Geometrical Pattern and Design

This has many patterns and dotted guidelines to show the construction lines. This is an excellent reference guide but would be challenging for beginners to learn how to construct patterns from this book.

Buen libro para estudiar la formación de los mosaicos nazaríes, aunque el libro de Eric Broug, Islamic Geometric Patterns es más didáctico.

Ce livre est une réédition des 190 planches réalisées par Jules Bourgoin spécialiste du genre à son époque (19° siècle). Il n'y a pas d'explications pour les réaliser. Elles se trouvent dans le livre "Les Eléments de l'Art Arabe: Le Trait des Entrelacs" (Classic Reprint) écrit en français.

This book is a collection of a couple of hundred plates of geometric patterns. Each pattern has a section with dotted lines over the solid lines of the designs, to make understanding their construction and underlying maths easier. This makes it ideal for making your own, as I'm now doing, but this is by no means easy... There is no accompanying text to explain what you're looking at or how it was arrived at, so you have to work it ALL out for yourself. While this is great fun if you're me, it might not be if you just want the result, not the mental challenge of arriving at it.Or you could just get it because it's gorgeous and never try and copy any. It's black and white linear forms only, but my goodness staring at these images is a trip!

ひとつの文様をひたすら繰り返してページ全面に広げています。まずそれが不満です。手間を省いてスペースをかせいでるとしか思えません。創作性や種類の幅があれば問題ないのですが、、しかし同じ似かよったものばかりで延々それが続きます結局この書籍に掲載されている文様の数は手の指で数えるほどですこの本の趣旨としては「自分で色を塗ってアレンジしてね」ということなのでしょうが、様々なアラビア文様を参考に見たかった私としてはひどく落胆させれました。
