Torrijos Ceiling, V&A East, London, England

From the exhibit caption: “an ornate carved ceiling from a palace in Torrijos, revealing the Islamic influence on craft practices in medieval Spain.

The ceiling was built about 1490 using strapwork carpentry, a construction technique that creates patterns from interlacing strips of wood.

An Arabic phrase is repeated in the white plaster ... 'you drink from happiness', suggesting that the original room below the ceiling was used for entertainment. By the 1890s, the palace was in poor condition and the owners sold the intact parts. The V&A bought this ceiling in 1905.

MAKER:
Unrecorded artisans

LOCATION AND DATE:
Torrijos, Spain. About 1490

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES:
Pine wood, carved, painted and gilded, with modern plaster of Paris panels”

@MashedMen Thanks, I was going to do more but the existing construction does not generalise well. Here are the key shapes for twelve-pointed stars.

This one has regular octagons and rhombuses.

This animation has two different kinds of white shape. Curiously, I made this before the ones with only one kind of white shape. This one has two sizes of squares.

Eight- and four-pointed stars using different angles.

No scrolling needed for eight- and four-pointed stars like this classic stars and crosses pattern.

And a generalisation that needed more to work to do.

A looping animation. I didn’t expect to need to scroll the shapes to loop correctly.

Mudéjar exterior wall, Cathedral of the Savior (La Seo de Zaragoza), Zaragoza, Spain

“The long-standing rivalry between the canons of El Pilar and of La Seo was well known in the 17th century. ...[In] 1676, Pope Clement X made the Solomon-like decision to merge the two chapters via the Bull of Union. 6 prebendaries and 15 canons would reside in La Seo, and the same in El Pilar, and the dean would live 6 months in each one.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Savior_of_Zaragoza

Some good educational resources for Islamic patterns are available on the web like https://tilingsearch.mit.edu and https://www.metmuseum.org/learn/educators/curriculum-resources/islamic-art-and-geometric-design.

However, some resources have disappeared from the web. Here's one I found one on an old disk and uploaded as https://archive.org/details/teachers-booklet-ulita-form-shape-and-space: Teacher’s Booklet: Form, Shape and Space: An Exhibition of Tilings and Polyhedra, 10 October, 2007 – 16 May, 2008, by Liz Meenan and Briony Thomas.

2. Islamic Art
2.1 Geometry in Islamic art
2.2 Symbolism in Islamic art

3.The Alhambra Palace

4.The Platonic Solids

5. Activities

Mudéjar style ceiling of Iglesia de Santo Domingo, Quito, Ecuador
"Christian builders and craftsmen carried Mudéjar style elements to the overseas territories of the Spanish empire...The Mudéjar "style" in architecture is most accurately described as a “common visual language” rather than a cohesive structure with particular regulations. This led to Mudejar design themes in the New World to be considered purely a continuation of an architectural blend that was unique to Spain." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud%C3%A9jar_art
