Parametric methods for constructing the Islamic ornament

The article discusses the method of algorithmic construction Islamic ornaments, which can be used as a decorative element in architectural design. Two necessary stages are highlighted generation an ornamental motif by means design – first includes operations on base mesh consisting combination regular or semiregular cells, for example, drawing rays from centers edges original lattice rotating figures relative to its nodes; second stage involves creation basic pattern that fits into semi-regular polygon, and figure is made up primitive symmetrically reflected any lines, usually rays, emanating opposite corners polygon. paper analyses traditional patterns basis new designs were built, using visual programming tools (Rhino Grasshopper).
