SAEDNEWS: Qasem Banshi has photographed Iranian muqarnas ceilings—works that capture the grandeur of intricate geometry and the striking interplay of colors in centuries-old Iranian designs.
According to the Science Desk of Saed News, Iranian architecture, especially in the muqarnas ceilings and tilework of iconic mosques such as Imam Mosque in Isfahan, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, and Goharshad Mosque, employs advanced geometry and highly precise mathematical patterns. These designs are based on polygons, geometric symmetry, the golden ratio, and meticulous geometric calculations, reflecting a unique fusion of science and art in traditional Iranian architecture. The use of these mathematical and geometric principles not only enhances the visual beauty of these structures but also perfects their architectural integrity and harmony. Such designs offer a singular display of the grandeur and delicacy of Iranian art throughout history, highlighting the profound role of geometric knowledge in creating the artistic and architectural achievements of this rich culture.
