Computer based design of Islamic geometric patterns 

This lecture is part of an emerging tradition that will educate people about Islamic geometry (notably books by Keith Critchlow and Eric Bourg) but delivered with an audio visual enthusiasm that books cannot fully convey.

Brillant. This man is very clever. Thank you for share the conference.

This lecture has been very insightful and significantly informative! Thank you for taking the time to study and teaching this!

This was amazing, thank you!!! I’m left at the end with a funny idea... Diverging moments of inspiration by the artists, or by computer scientists playing with this stuff, whose creative trajectories converge in a higher pattern... A star pattern of diverging polygon trajectories that trace back to each other in a higher (and more general) form.... A beautiful metaphor.

Amazing lecture. Learned a lot. I wish I had paid attention to the wonders of mathematics. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That was a very good lecture!

“The computer is really good at stupid, mindless repetition." LOL

Liked it a lot. Should name every orator in this conference

Absolutely brilliant talk.

It would be interesting to see the stereographic projection of the 3d printed spheres

merci beaucoup

Amazing !....

Very gooood

Great presentation. Thanks for sharing. Did Prof. Kaplan go to Fes?

the Moroccan architecture is amazing

very interesting. always been interested in Moorish art and Islamic art. I wish i could do knew how to use engineering software like auto cad

merci

This man is a true artist.

This is so inspiring and enlightening. What's the name of the App that's used to manipulate the shapes and stars? Thanks so much for sharing.

I love his shirt.

This man should watch the movie called the man who knew infinity

thanks for this. very inspiring. psychedellic. trippy. universal. fascinating. take me to Fez on a magic carpet.

If you generalize the technique where you generate a tesselation pattern, then do the Riemannian technique you described for the star bunnies over surfaces that render the same tesselation pattern at a larger scale, won’t that created the nested symmetry you would need to construct an infinitely deep, repeating pattern? I mean you could build a bunny out of little bunnies that are built of bunnies.... Triangles made out of triangles... But how could it be generalized for any polygon construct?

Moroccan craftsmen are over 9000

Is there a theorem that says if you have two colours they can be woven?

Hello, l just found out that in 1966 my School padagoene Dr Rolditch contacted Mr MC Easher, regarding None repeating tessalations and some math to it that l told her about under Hypnos ,he did a print to confirm my math and come to Canada to present the print to Dr Rolditch and he had it registed, l,m just now tring to find out more Details.

What is that software!?

I find it interesting how he glosses over the Ghiri (sic) tilings and doesn't mention anything about quasicrystals. He openly questions Lu's work and mentions Penrose tilings but doesn't elaborate on their irregularity. Much has changed in the 7 years since he gave this lecture. I wonder if his views now go along with the mainstream beliefs.

Has it been made into an ipad app?

so friggin cool

what software is he using?

Ideas 😁💡

Can someone help me with the software he used?

This is maaad!!!! Just little additional information in 40:07 this pattern there's symbolism on it's not normal pattern, it refers to Solomon knot! Interesting coincidence! And in Islam Solomon is one of the prophets too

what software is that yoo

19:00 the pentagon he draws is within error greater than the geometrical error of the fake pentagon itself.

I THINK THE SAME...

25:50 eye opening moment

can i get in touch with someone here ?

I am a young promoter in the field of engraving on wood and aricobon.si possible to send me the islamic patters I work on cnc router thank you in advance

grasshopper and parakeet?

Have a good night

seed of life

Is there a newer version of taprats that will work in OSX El Capitan-10.11.4?

45:35

I WANT SOFTWARE IM DYING DRAWING THESE EVEN THO I KNOW EUCLIDIAN SPEEDY SHIT

Sir, it is not the classical Islamic way to do it ! There are documents in Turkish Persian and Arabic that discuss how to build them.

His approach is from the wrong side of the issue. It shows a very superficial approach instead of a comprehensive one.

Barely scratched the surface.

I kept waiting for the word FRACTAL

Its Not islamic its old forms if it was so no body bevor See it

somehow british irritates me

So he's trying to take the real essence of Islamic geometry designs out (which is based on spirituality) and automate it and make it soulless then wonders why its not the same...LOL

I don' t know why some call it islamic art when its originally a moorish art! a moorish invention art!.. is not even an arabic art. not at all!.. its like saying International automobile engineering desing(s)!!.. we have the big tree in the u.s. and thousands of other designs coming out throughout the years from this big tree motor creator! and you can find all of them in one city, and is Detroit city, and that is the heart of the motor engineering and creator!.. when you talk about iranian or persian art.. thats like barking at the wrong tree!!..its like going to russia to find out how they creat their own cars!.. i know this a bad exemple but!.. iran or persia have the arab school influence..because of the arab invasions throughout the history.. so the otman Empire or turkey today have the Moorish influence.. so Andalusia in Spain have the pure original Moorish style and design..and you just cannot compare al hambra art with isfahan or damascus or istambul art and try in studying it and calling it this broad name of islamic art..is like comparing apples and oranges and bananas and cucumbers etcetera!.. the best universities in the world are Harvard. and Princeton for exemple and they're all in one country and that's america.. you wanna study the beginning or secrets of the automobile engineering designs you go to the big tree in detroit Ford! GM! and Chrysler! you wanna study computer and science you go to the siliconevalley ..movies music and entertainment!..of course you go to Broadway new york and Hollywood!. making it short!.. you wanna study tile art designs which is impossible! go where the Moorish, that build al hambra and the south of spain came from a little city in north africa call marrakech! ..or go to where the Moorish ends up after the contesta of spain and also a little city in north africa call Fes!..and you can find these two cities in morocco! and t hats the birth place of the Moorish designs " not islamic designs!! and not even arabic designs!..why??! because then we gonna start inventing and confusing the birth and original idea and the origine of this and simply Moorish art and designs.
