Notes
The study and mathematical geometric analysis of Islamic architecture and its development from the Umayyad era in the 7th century AD, until the 15th century AD, and even after, especially from the Abbasid era, since the Caliph Al MANSOUR and among others that of the Caliph ALMAMOUN Fis of HAROUN AL RACHID, who founded Beit el Hikma, which made it possible to move on from the phase from the apprehension of ancient mathematics to the phase of creativity of scientific centers, to then move on to the dissemination of new knowledge 1This study allows us to note the great impact and importance of this geometry in the formulation of Islamic architecture, whether through the presence of linear geometry in ornamentation, or the curvilinear geometry called arabesque, on the envelopes of surfaces in decoration, but very deeply this geometry is seen in architectural elements although architectonic whether columns, arches vaults domes.We would like to delimit what interests us from the notion of “organic architecture” by architecture which is inspired by natural elements which is based on repetitive geometry such as flowers or other ball-shaped organs which have a repetitive geometric structure. Delimitation of the object of study: In our research we will focus on a very important aspect and which can even be described as essential in the formalization of Islamic architecture where geometry played the main role, these are the domes, or scientifically speaking of the role of spherical triangulation and special geometry in the formalization of the character of Islamic architecture from the Abbasid era to the Ottoman era. Our study will therefore focus on this period on the surface area of the different Islamic states from Asia to Andalusia. Problem: The questions that will be posed as problematic will be the following: - How, and to what extent, the development of Islamic geometry played a role in the formalization of its architecture - Can we qualify the Islamic architecture of domes with spherical triangles, organic architecture, or a premature beginning of organic architecture
