Definition: Islamic Geometry Made with Bricks

A building whose entire language is brick-built geometry. The entire exterior wall is exposed orange-red narrow bricks, with no plastering or stone cladding. All decoration is created by the bricks themselves: protruding diamond grids, serrated corbelling, continuous sequences of blind arches, and perforated brick bands. Openings are horseshoe or multifoil arches. It translates Islamic geometric decoration into the cheapest material.
Avoid: using plastering and stone cladding to cover brick walls, making decorations as applied components, using flat unpatterned brick surfaces, making openings into regular rectangular windows.

一棟以磚砌幾何為全部語言的建築。整棟外牆是裸露的橘紅色窄磚,沒有抹灰也沒有石材貼面;所有的裝飾都靠磚本身做出來:凸出的菱形網格、鋸齒狀的疊澀、盲拱的連續序列、鏤空的花磚帶。開口是馬蹄形或多葉形的拱。它把伊斯蘭的幾何裝飾轉譯成最便宜的材料。避免:使用抹灰與石材覆蓋磚牆、把裝飾做成貼上去的構件、使用平整無圖案的磚面、讓開口做成一般的矩形窗。
