GeoGebra Book: Mamoun Sakkal

Mamoun Sakkal has published about muqarnas on his website [url]http://www.sakkal.com/[/url]. His work has inspired me to research the geometrical rules of the type of muqarnas which adhere to the socalled 45° system. This book is dedicated to his work. General information about my ideas on workshops in teaching geometry with muqarnas is in the GeoGebra book [url]https://www.geogebra.org/m/tcmsgvjw[/url]. Mamoun Sakkal describes a dome-dividing method in his thesis "Geometry of muqarnas in Islamic architecture". The thesis is available at [url]https://www.researchgate.net/publication/36343132_Geometry_of_muqarnas_in_Islamic_architecture[/url].
