Assist. Prof. Tayebeh Beheshti presented at the thirteenth Session of Philosophy Talks.
The 13th session of the Philosophy Talks, regularly organized by the Department of Philosophy, occurred on March 19, 2025, in the Faculty of Letter meeting room. In this session, Assist. Prof. Tayebeh Beheshti, from the Graphic Design Department at the Faculty of Science, the Islamic Azad University of Parand, gave a presentation titled "Systematic Art Geometric Drawing Instruments and Systems in Medieval Islamic Book Arts".
During the presentation, Assist. Prof. Beheshti explained the systematic art of geometric drawing tools and systems in Medieval Islamic Book Arts. She revealed that medieval Islamic artists did not create designs according to modern geometry rules but with their unique system. Beheshti explained that the artists employed methods based on points, circles, and polygons in their drawings. She also clarified that these artists did not rely solely on tools like rulers and compasses but used various right-angled triangles with exact and fractional values, as demonstrated by examples. Set triangles were part of a system based on geometric ratios and the interior angles of polygons, which were used by artists in the design process in Medieval Islamic art. Drawing attention to the relationship between design and mathematical principles, Assist. Prof. Beheshti emphasized that this perspective is valuable for the history of art. Based on the geometric tools and mathematical calculations used in Medieval Islamic Book Arts, she suggested that the proportional deviations identified in works from that period could be considered a deliberate choice.
After the presentation generated interest, the audience's questions were answered, and the event concluded with participants taking photos.
