I will teach you the fundamental principles behind creating a traditional Pattern and guide you through the process using only a ruler and compass. Each Workshop will focus on a traditional pattern found in Architecture across the world. This workshop will focus on a pattern found in CAIRO > The Sultan Lajin Minbar Mosque.
– Invest a moment in time and allow your mind the freedom to express, with no judgment in a safe supportive environment.
What is Geometry?
Geometry helps understanding of spatial relationships. It creates a clear perception of space and position through studying the size and shape of everything in the world. Geometry allows people to think in shapes and sizes. Knowing about different shapes and their sizes allows the mind to visualise new things by building with the learned shapes. It can aid in bringing together both sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is the logic-driven, technical side, while the right side is the creative and artistic side. Most people have a dominant right brain or left brain. Geometry can help combine both to create a perfect symmetry between the two sides.
“Geometry is really a universal language, everyone can – and does – relate to it instinctively,” Eric Broug
Geometry in Islamic Architecture (The language of symmetry)

Geometric patterning in Moroccan architecture is one of its fundamental principles. Its use in Morocco stems from the country’s Islamic heritage and its Islamic artistic traditions. These include elaborate geometric patterns, Biomorphic design (naturally occurring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms) and calligraphy.
Moroccan, Berber and Islamic patterns are not just beautiful, but reflects its cultural values and reveals the way people view the spiritual realm and the universe.
