The frst Rumî motifs are believed to have appeared as the fgures of stylized shapes of the wings, legs, and bodies of animals and creatures, then turned into ornaments consisting of abstract geometric shapes, after the Seljuk’s conversion to Islam. Although having general design principles, this composition style and motif do not have a full geometric explanation. This study is an attempt to re-construct classical Rumî compositions with compass and straightedge. This is expected to refresh a discussion on Rumî through its geometric explanation. We believe this discussion will contribute to the survival of the Rumî composition and its transfer to the next generations.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRumîOrnamental artsGeometric constructionsCompass and straightedgeArticle48946525WOS:000854052600002Q3
