Intrecci di linee: la logica grafica della decorazione architettonica di matrice islamica in provincia di Salerno / Crossed Lines: Graphic Logic of Islamic Taste Decoraton in the Salerno Province

This paper focuses on a series of architectural episodes of Islamic inspiration, present in Salerno and in the Amalfi Coast, with the intent of investigating the graphic logic underlying the decorative structures that characterize its shape. These are often complex decorations, but deriving from the movement – in the plane or in the space – of lines or shapes aggregated according to different geometric-mathematical laws. The followed methodological approach is based on the description of their logical principles as well as the geometrical transformations underlying them.
