Explore, design and communicate novel forms of muqarnas مقرنس compositions to show the viability of this fascinating Islamic geometric architectural system. Whether for internal or external applications muqarnas offer not only a richly defined space but also economies of cost in their manufacture, since there are only a handful of unique muqarnas blocks for any given symmetry family.I have developed many techniques for creating complex compositions of muqarnas with a variety of potential applications.‎ ان شاء الله ‪مقرنس‬
