Symmetry

Description

Interior of Sultan Hassan Mosque, Cairo, Egypt

A beautiful example of Islamic Architecture.

With its strong prohibitions against the use of representational images, Islam, and in particular the Sunni branch of Islam, has developed intricate use of symmetries. For sheer complexity and sophistication in the exploitation of symmetry as an architectural element, Islamic buildings often eclipse those of other cultures and ages.
