Abstract

Muslim architects depend on Meditation, thinking and then results in their culture and civilization which create a unique art and architecture, instead of other artists which depend on personal perception and imagination in their cathedrals and churches designs that make the difference of Islamic art rather than other visual arts. Consequently, there was no need in the mosque for apses, transepts, crypts as well as images and sculptures that played a prominent part in the diversity of Islamic geometric patterns. This designing principle, presented a new methodology for understanding and constructing complicated Islamic patterns, which generated a new perspective into the history, craft, construction and creativity of the Muslim artists.      This paper aims to present the characteristics of geometrical patterns as a digital method and point out the possibilities of mathematics of patterns which can be used to generate new depictions and applied in new areas like structure system, kinetic envelope or generate an evolution construction building on the architecture level which called "Timeless architecture."
