TEHRAN (IMNA) -- The symmetry provided by geometric patterns can go on indefinitely, and the biggest class of patterns found in interlacement is complicated, regular polygons such as a five-pointed star in a circle.
Geometric forms in Islamic art are frequently based on repeating squares and circles, which can be overlapped and interlaced, as can arabesques (with which they are frequently paired with), to make detailed and complicated patterns, including a vast range of tessellations.
A striking feature of Islamic architecture that is borrowd by Isfahani craftmen is wooden Girih artworks, that is inspired by wooden lattice works used on windows for privacy and climate control.
In Persian style, the geometric forms are sticking together by precise joinery and the pressure they exert on each other.
Isfahani carpenters use woodworking tools to carve intricate designs.
