Geometry in Islamic Architecture 

 

1. "Penrose Tiling". Wikipedia. March 04, 2009 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling>.

In the site about Penrose Tiling i got a lot of information about the two different sets of patterns. I ended up using hte degree explanations for the rhombuses and the kite/darts in order to show the geometry incoroporated in the patterns. I used some pictures of the shapes as well.

 

2. Lu, Peter J. "Decagonal and Quasicrystalline Tilings in Medieval Islamic Architecture". March 04, 2009 <http://www.physics.harvard.edu/~plu/publications/Science_315_1106_2007.pdf>.

For this site i used a lot of information on 1200 CE and how that was when girih tiles started being used. From there i also got the display of the strapwork method and how the five tiles from the girih grid could be seen in the artwork. This site also helped me understand the differences between quasi-periodic or what characteristics made something a self-simi

For this reference i mainly only used it to find pictures of real architectural patterns that had utilized the girih tiling.   

 

4. Zheng, Ser. "Quasi-Periodicity in Medieval and Islamic architecture and ornament". March 04, 2009 <http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/projects/ZhengSer-SRP.pdf>.

For this article i think i got most of my information from here. I got the explanations for the strapwork method and the girih tile method and why it had to be the girih becuase the strapwork would leave too many mistakes for a typical human. There were a lot of pictures that were useful to me as well.

 

5. "Penrose tiling". Encyclopedia. March 04, 2009 <http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Penrose-tiling>.

On the wikipedia site on penrose tiling i wrote about the defintion of penrose tiling. I also got what quasi-periodic tilings meant and how penrose tiling is considered aperiodic because each pattern is new the same.

 

6. "Girih Tiles". Wikipedia. March 04, 2009 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girih_tiles>.   

On the girih tiles there was informaiton on the five different kinds of tiles that made up the girih.
