Title

Broug Ateliers for Islamic Art & Architecture-Home

Description

About

Broug Ateliers was established in 2004 to create a commercial outlet for my geometrical designs. I provide a range of products and services inspired by Islamic geometrical design. My aim is to present this design tradition in a contemporary light and to make Islamic art affordable to a large audience.

I have been studying islamic geometry for over fifteen years, initially in Amsterdam, Holland. By using all the books I could find on the subject I taught myself the principles of geometrical design and exhibited my work as often as I could.

I moved to the United Kingdom in 2000 in order to receive professional training in Islamic geometrical design at the VITA(Visual Islamic & Traditional Arts) course at the Prince's Foundation in London. I completed my MA in the History of Islamic Architecture at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies), also in London. At SOAS I specialized in the history of Mamluk architecture in Cairo, and in the history of muqarnas. I received a British Museum scholarship award in recognition of my research.
