انعكاس الفنون الإسلامية الزخرفية علي العمارة المعاصرة

Abstract EN

Islamic patterns are considered one of the most important elements in Islamic architecture leaving a unique mark through past ages.

despite all the traditional elements, Islamic art has been a major influence in many modern buildings.

carrying on Islamic artistic patterns with a more modern perspective to its traditional elements, integrating with modern technology to strengthen its architectural function in the building in addition to its beautiful appearance.

on the other hand, we can sharply detect a significant decline and misrepresentation for this great art in many Arabic buildings that uses Islamic patterns in a shallow process designing the façade without taking into consideration the artistic nor functional standards.

the paper is aiming to highlight the modern concepts of Islamic art that have been affected by modern day technology, as they succeed in inserting both the third dimension (height) and the fourth dimension (time) in the formation of Islamic patterns to produce spectacular dynamic façades.

to achieve this objective, the paper approaches a detailed methodological analysis to one of the widely known global buildings demonstrating the main design concept influenced by Islamic artistic patterns which not only gave the building a spectacular design and appearance, but also have had a senior role in the environmental interior cooling system via modern technology.

It also shows the integration method between Islamic patterns and modern technology.

concluding, the paper clears out the importance of looking back to our generous architectural heritage which elements and concepts can be used in contemporary architecture, taking advantage of modern technologies.
