“…Barrios and Alani [25] and Nasri [16] used a computational system to study the characteristics of the IGPs and analyze geometric ornaments to recreate traditional designs or generate new patterns. Also, Ajlouni [26] and Aljamali and Fakir [27] utilized a computational model to generate IGPs.…”

Recently, scholars have embraced sustainability as a crucial concept deeply ingrained in architectural designs, particularly Islamic geometric patterns (IGP). These patterns hold significance in reflecting Islamic history, identity, and culture. This systematic review explores how scholars have integrated IGPs into modern design, considering the sustainability aspect. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) reporting checklist was used due to its organized structure as a guide to conduct this review (2012–2022). Data was collected through recognized databases (i.e., Scopus and ProQuest) that house a wide array of journals and publications. Selected journals were categorized based on sustainability pillars—environmental, economic, social, and cultural. In addition, case studies from the region are discussed, as studies didn’t explicitly explore the connection between sustainability and the use of Islamic geometric patterns in modern design. Findings indicate that papers predominantly discuss the positive effects on environmental and economic sustainability through IGP implementation. Conversely, social sustainability received comparatively less attention from scholars. Case studies showed that most building designs in the Middle East use IGP to conserve Islamic history and identity, especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This review sheds light on the potential of geometric patterns as a vehicle for sustainable design and contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable architecture.

“…While analysing Islamic geometric patterns and the traditional method of drawing them, Bourgoin collected more than 190 patterns from the Islamic world and analysed 30 of them (Bourgoin, 1973). Multiple studies have also sought to discover the characteristics of the Islamic decorative patterns, their elements, techniques, and methods of geometric and mathematical drawing, schematic drawings that contain pairs of lines, repetition, and symmetry of design, and more complex Islamic geometric patterns (Bonner, 2017;Bier, 2017;Wichmann & Wade, 2017). Islamic patterns contain lines that continuously delineate through the paths and units of a hierarchical structure (Cromwell 2012).…”

Islamic floral patterns warrant further research and analysis as they are an important aspect of the cultural heritage of Islamic patterns. These floral patterns are aesthetically inspired by flowers, leaves, vines, and stems and feature characteristics such as symmetry, interlacing, and pattern repetition. This study analysed a five-pointed rose pattern (peony flower) and its elements, such as the curved lines that make up the leaves and flowers. A new floral pattern featuring a botanical motif and curved lines was designed and distributed using kite and dart tiling. The floral pattern was designed using the pentagram reflection of the Penrose tiling method to suit modern design requirements of looking like a Shamsah. The results of the floral ornament and newly designed patterns were then reviewed in order to facilitate the generation of new patterns accurately and quickly through computer design software. Thus, the problem of time and effort in designing Islamic floral patterns was solved. This study also provides suggestions for future studies on Islamic floral patterns.
