Weekly Reflect

Following essay i am gonna to talk about what I have learnt previous weeks about last three of the 7 principles of Islamic Architecture which are:

1. Architecture of Iqtisad: Balance
- architecture of balance can be illustrate through fountaina dn garden design which balance architecture building with nature or the golden ratio ornament of the simple geometry stone carving design.
                                                                      Balance and ratio
Geometry derived from flower


2. Architecture of Haya': Modesty
- Modesty is the screen or patition design which separate or divide the spaces from public visible area which is used to shows some respect due to privacy or to women.

screen design avoid direct view from out to interior
exterior view of the screen design

3. Architecture as Dikr: Remembrance
- Remembrance could be illustrate through the architecture design like the repetition of the geometry design reminds us the god creation and it started from nature, or the calligraphy design on the wall windows or dome to show the respect and remind them of god.
                                                                   calligraphy at the door
Repetition of geometry
