Islamic Domes of Crossed-Arches: Origin, Geometry and Structural Behavior
Islamic domes of crossed-arches: Origin, geometry and structural behavior P. Fuentes and S. Huerta Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: Crossed-arch domes are one of the earliest types of ribbed vaults. In them the ribs are intertwined forming polygons. The earliest known vaults of this type are found in the Great Mosque of Córdoba in Spain built in the mid 10th century, though the type appeared later in places as far as Armenia or Persia. This has generated a debate on their possible origin; a historical outline is given and the different hypotheses are discussed. Geometry is a fundamental part and the different patterns are examined. Though geometry has been thoroughly studied in Hispanic-Muslim decoration, the geometry of domes has very rarely been considered. The geometrical patterns in plan will be examined and afterwards, the geometric problems of passing from the plan to the three-dimensional space will be considered. Finally, a discussion about the possible structural behaviour of these domes is sketched. Crossed-arch domes are a singular type of ribbed vaults. Their characteristic feature is that the ribs that form the vault are intertwined, forming polygons or stars, leaving an empty space in the centre. The fact that the earliest known vaults of this type are found in the Great Mosque of Córdoba, built in the mid 10th century, has generated a debate on their possible origin. The thesis that appears to have most support is that of the eastern origin. This article describes the different hypothesis, to then proceed with a discussion of the geometry. -

"KHATA'i" MOTIF in the ISLAMIC ART -A Study for the Original Forms
"KHATA'I" MOTIF IN THE ISLAMIC ART -A study for the original forms- Minako YAMANLAR MIZUNO* 1. The painting and the ornament patterns in Islam According to the theories and the categories of European art history, ornamental patterns are accepted as the secondary elements which adorn objects and are never dealt with as an independent genre in the arts, but in the Islamic world ornamental patterns form a very important genre of painting and have played a significant role in its art. Heinrich Lutzeler describes the situation as follows; The term ornament usually means something subordinate. Ornaments are used to decorate something, and their forms do not have de- cisive influences upon the overall style of works of art. Therefore in Europe it is not possible to establish an art history based on ornaments, but in Islam it is not only possible, it is necessary.(1) There have been many discussions about the disproportionate emphasis on ornamental patterns in Islamic art. In those cases, the reasons for it are usually explained through the strict prohibtion of idolatry and the ban on the depiction of living things. Thus the theory has arisen that these restrictions have prevented the development of figure painting in favor of ornamental patterns. But in Islam besides the painting known as miniatures, the painting style called Tezhip also has been evaluated. Tezhip is a kind of painting which is used for the ornamental decoration of manuscripts especially using gold, dark blue and other vivid colors. According to the classifications of European art, Tezhip has been classified as illumination. -
Identification Manual
ORIENTAL & FINE AREA RUG CLEANING IDENTIFICATION MANUAL “TRY NOT TO BECOME A MAN OF SUCCESS, BUT RATHER A MAN OF VALUE.” – ALBERT EINSTEIN RUG TYPES AND CONSTRUCTION The construction of any hand-woven or machine-woven rug begins with the interlacing of warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) yarns, which are known as the foundation. This creates the basic structure of the rug, to which the pile yarns may be added with hand knotting or mechanical insertion. Foundation yarns used in rugs are: wool, silk, cotton, jute, polyester and polypropylene. Foundation yarns include: Warp – cotton, wool, silk, linen, polyester, slit-film polypropylene. Weft – cotton, wool, silk, jute, spun polypropylene. Stuffer – cotton (one or several).
