Unfolding Islamic Geometric Patterns
In this course we will be using the idiosyncrasies of Islamic Patterns, the ideal proportions, the multi-level self-similarity and the magic of circles and origami to build paper edifices of reflection for contemplation of light casting shadow.
Students will learn about the logic of translating 2D into 3D in order to construct “nets”, flat maps of the faces of the object meant to be folded and joined to summon the object.
The magic of this method hinges on understanding the process through manual work in order to then take the lessons into other realms and mediums.
