With its concentration on geometrical form, Islamic art and architecture offers a very rich source of wonder ful patterns to study and to investigate. The original inspiration of this book came from visits to the buildings of Moorish Spain, in particular to those of Granada, Cordoba and Seville.This striking introduction to Islamic design was followed by journeys to the traditional sites of the Middle East and North Africa and then finally the some of the newer mosques of Great Britain.
