The intricate harmony of the Islamic Patterns is amazing. The geometry of this and other Islamic pattern designs are explained in the 3rd chapter of Craig S. Kaplan’s Ph.D. dissertation. I constructed a semi-regular tessellation, particularly the 4.8 because it seems to open interesting explorations that mostly emerge from truncated squares. We know equilateral triangles and hexagons are also fundamental shapes for this task. However, the dual nature of the […]

This is a semi-regular tessellation of vertex arrangement 4.8.8. Its octagonal and square forms are all generated from data lists provided by the new version of subdivide component (The old one was processing points in a different fashion. I don’t know why they changed that). Anyway, a lexical operation is needed to convert this list into a more useful one for this exercise. You can download the source definition here […]
