חשבון האינסטגרם של השבוע

פרויקט אגאמה נוצר בשביל מטרה מפתיעה: לשמר את הדפוסים הגאומטריים המורכבים של האיסלם במרכז אסיה. גם דרך הפעולה שלו מפתיעה: הצוות הקטן שהקים את הפרויקט מנסה להפוך את הדפוסים האלה לקוד ממוחשב.

Today is the day! Come check our our lecture tonight at 6:30 at the NY Chapter of the AIA (Center for Architecture). Link in bio. Postcard (7 of 10) available at the lecture. #Uzbekistan #bukhara #centralasia #islamic #islamicarchitecture #architecture #abdulaziz #madrasah #muqarnas #geometry #geometric #decorative #travel #travelgram #adventures #projectagama

שני ארכיטקטים ומתכנת בכיר בגוגל החליטו למפות, לסרוק ולקודד את התבניות המורכבות והצבעוניות כמו אלה שבתמונות כאן (הלקוחות כולן מחשבון האינסטגרם של פרויקט אגאמה). המטרה כפולה: גם לשמר את הארכיטקטורה בבניינים שחלקם נהרסים על ידי כוחות הטבע וחלקם בשל סכסוכים ומלחמות, וגם לספק לארכיטקטים עובדים תוכנה שתעזור להם לייצר דפוסים כאלה כשהם מתכננים עבודות חדשות.

Further reflections on our time at the Registan in Samarkand. What an amazing collection of madrasah and domes!

על הפרויקט תוכלו לקרוא כאן. בינתיים, הנה כמה תמונות נבחרות מחשבון האיסנטגרם של השבוע:

Day 19: We arrived today in Samarkand and were immediately blown away by the beauty of the Registan. This muqarnas detail is from the Sher-Dor Madrasah which translates to "Madrasah with Lions" and was built in 1619-36 almost 200 years after its neighbors on the square. #Uzbekistan #samarkand #centralasia #theregistan #registan #registansquare #muqarnas #colorful #tiles #mosaic #tilework #geometry #geometric #tiling #portal #courtyard #travel #travelgram #adventures #projectagama

Day 26: One more from the incredible Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. This tile pattern at the rear side of the structure is original meaning it dates back to at least 1405. The fact that the colors have survived that long without looking faded is a real testament to their craftsmen. #Kazakhstan #turkestan #centralasia #craft #tile #tiling #geometry #girih #majolica #mosaic #geometric #islamicarchitecture #islamicart #mausoleum #yasawimausoleum #yasawi #travel #travelgram #adventures #projectagama

Day 23: Spectacular superstructure tessellation at the Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This trading dome in particular boasts the ability to buy over 5 types of horse meat. #centralasia #Uzbekistan #tashkent #chorsu #chorsubazaar #bazaar #dome #gumbaz #modern #architecture #tradingdome #tesselate #tesselation #geometry #geometric #superstructure #architecture #travel #travelgram #adventures #projectagama

Day 20: Today we explored the mysterious row of sparkling blue tombs at Samarkand's Shakhi Zinda. This unique ensemble of ancient tombs ranges in age from the pre-Mongol years through to the 19th century. Of particular importance is the tomb of the prophet's cousin Ibn 'Abbas also known as "The Living King" #Uzbekistan #samarkand #shakhizinda #necropolis #tile #tilework #majolica #majolicatile #pattern #patterning #mosaic #mosaictile #blue #islamic #islamicarchitecture #islamicart #architecture #geometry #geometric #travel #travelgram #adventures #projectagama

Day 12: This may not be as relevant as other posts, but we are overwhelmed with the variety of patterns and colors. The fact that this building even exists is a testament to the change that has taken place in Russia since Soviet times and stone cold religious intolerance. The Temple of all Religions complex in Kazan consists of several cupolas, minarets and spires representing the 12 major religions of the world. #Russia #Kazan #templeofallreligions #Tatarstan #minaret #cupolas #architecture #domes #allreligions #pattern #patterning #colorful #tessellation #ridiculous #travel #travelgram #adventures #projectagama
