Geometric Patterns as Material Things: The Making of Seljuk Patterns on Curved Surfaces

Year: 2016 Authors: Begüm Hamzaoğlu; Mine Özkar

Core claim

Different curved surfaces require different pattern-application methods, and paper templates or rope compasses can reproduce Seljuk designs with varying distortion and symmetry.

Topics

Seljuk geometric patterns, curved stone surfaces, craft application methods, pattern symmetry

Domains

geometry, surface geometry, trigonometry, geodesic distance, Islamic ornament, architectural decoration, stone carving, craft techniques

Methods

circular grid analysis, surface modeling, hypothetical reconstruction, tool-based application scenarios

Media

cut stone, paper templates, rope compass, carbon copy
