This paper discusses geometric proportions which serve as a design tool, especially for Islamic pattern design
Explore the intersection between architecture and digital technology.
Questions to be answered
- How do we learn from the past- looking into the past Islamic geometric patterns
- what is the importance of these geometric patterns,
- how are they still holding means to the culture (middle east)
- Anthropological and political perspective
- How can these be deployed to benefit/critique the society
- 4 folds, 5 folds, six folds
- Could the patterns be embodied in space rather than still surface
“digital technology can act as a catalyst for cultural change”
We see the transformation in patterns (mihrab), in Oman carrying a meaningful message, but could we do the transformation in a way where patterns be interactive with body movement instead of imitating the old and adding new materials.
For example referring to the project “putting the pieces back together again” by Kirchheim unter Teck, 2018
How to introduce the digital era yet hold the same meanings to the heritage.
