Daily Geometry
Project Phase: Ongoing
"Daily Geometry" Aims At Shifting Our Understanding Of What Is Called "Islamic Geometry" Found In Middle Eastern Cities And Architecture From Being Purely Ornamental Into Having A Possible Structural Potential. The Project Assumes A Structural Feasibility Of These Patterns In A Three-Dimensional Space, What If The 6-Fold Grid Was A Concrete-Wood Joint? Can A 7-Fold Star Be A Vault? It Thus Interrogates This Feasibility By Linking Structural Engineering, Design, And Art. It Proposes Structural Art To Be Part Of Reading These Historical Beyond Being Sacred Or Mere Heritage Objects.

The Project Assumes A Structural Feasibility Of These Patterns In A Three-Dimensional Space, What If The 6-Fold Grid Was A Concrete-Wood Joint? Can A 7-Fold Star Be A Vault? How Do Internal Stresses Flow In A 12-Fold Grid Latticed Beam? It Thus Interrogates This Feasibility By Linking Structural Engineering, Design, And Art. It Proposes Structural Art To Be Part Of Reading These Historical Beyond Being Sacred Or Mere Heritage Objects.
Daily Geometry Project Fuses Art, Engineering, And Design Back Into The Studies Of Geometries.
