Finally got around to watching this, and it was terrific! I have always been fascinated by Muqarnas, and quite mystified by them. Your explanation makes it seem almost simple, although I know large compositions would be quite complex. Still, very clear principles that unfold naturally, just like 2D Islamic design. Thanks for putting this up.
Very, very grateful! These forms have been appearing in Deep Meditation for several days for me. And it took a few days, until I managed to discover the specific name, of this part, on the ceilings of some Sufi mosques... I consulted two Muslim imams...
Thank you so much Eric! This is terrific! I'm a grad student in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies in Jerusalem, muqarnas is my topic for final paper in Archaeology class and I found this extremely useful! Thank you so much!! I look forward to more of your works! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Molly Mo Excuse me, I'm very interested on the major you studied, it sounds fascinating and beautiful. Could I ask you the name of the university where you studied it?
The picture showing what is behind the Muqarnas is very revealing. Such a beautiful facade over the ugly structure. No wonder the artists desired to go to such lengths. Metaphoric also.
It s an arabic islamic composition used in arab-maurish architecture. This IS his origine. Since arabes were in Iran, india, China... So WE find muqarnass and many other arabic geometries in the architecture they made and construct theire, so the aborigen of each country becoming Muslims were inspired of this islamic architecture and continued to use it in a local aspect. The name muqarnass is arabic.
Thanks so much to explain how the complex geometry of muqarnas works！ It is a very helpful educational guide to this Islamic architectural element. However the red 2D flat surfaces in your model are in fact not a realistic representation of the actual 3D curved surfaces of muqarnas due to the limitation in using cardboard as the material.
@@josemanuelgarcialopez7429 The Muslimas used it in Spain and it was developed by them as part of arabesque, Thats why it has an Arabic name (Muqarnas،مقرنص) It start with M cause Its how Arab describes most of things for example (Muhammed، محمد) you can see the two words starts with 'Mu' even cities in Spain named by the Arabs as Kordoba قرطبه Valincia بيلنسيه Granada غرناطه Al hamra الحمرا Andlusia الاندلس these were Arabic cites and they have fallen cause they were fighting each other. There were no Muqarnas in el neolitico and there is no proof of it.

Yes. What would you suggest?
@@DarkMoonDroid U may consider to use clay for constructing your model.
great stuff, thx
But ia not like the original from andalusia and zirid algerian design in granada
its an Islamic art and can be found in all of the Islamic world.
