FOREWORD
from his fellows was a Western one not then found in Islam.
Designers learnt their skills in workshops, and design had evolved
naturally, without self-consciousness.
The intricate geometrical patterns, the interlace of astonishing
complexity were created with a maximum of skill and the minimum
of equipment and theory. New patterns were essentially variants of
older ones, and a straight-edge and dividers were the only instru-
ments used to lay out the ground.
As Bourgoin emphasizes, somehow the Islamic artists reflected
the underlying geometric structure of organic things in their
patterns, but they achieved this intuitively, not through
experimental science or a formal study of geometry. Although buil
from simple elements, the number of possible designs is infinit
but only through the study of existing patterns can new patterns
made.
