Approach of Constructing an Islamic Pattern Respecting the "HASBA" Method

Abstract

In this article, we put forth an approach to build a geometric Islamic pattern, according to a method called Hasba. This kind of geometric pattern is generally found in Moroccan geometric art, adopted by artisans; it is rather suitable for sculpture and painting on wood. It is based on geometric rules and the concept of symmetry. Here we describe step by step the basic approach to create a new model respecting certain rules of the "Hasba" method.
