Geometric Layout of a Public Space

Islamic pattern as the base for the layout of a public space

The use of an Islamic geometric pattern as the basis for the layout of precious public spaces is the corner stone of a design concept packed with symbolism and a noble recognition of the early Islamic artists that developed a form of art that has since become an icon of the Islamic civilization, and which remains - to our modern days - a field of study of both Western and Eastern scholars.

In such design paradigm, the public space is arranged following the pattern, articulating architectural and landscaping elements with the geometric elements of the composition.
