Nasr

When the Minbar of the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was damaged in an arson attack, the ancient knowledge of how to map the structure geometrically was long considered lost.

A British Artist an academic, from a group of abstract expressionists, Critchlow became a student of Buckminster Fuller and eventually the world’s leading authority on Islamic and Sacred Geometry. For Critchlow, Mathematics and Geometry was the highest form of art, and art was the was direct link to higher power.
