the role of geometry in islamic architecture
Asslamualikum Ahamed

I feel that Geometry is a symbol of order and harmony and hence an apt ornamentation for Islamic architecture, where Islam teaches peace, order and harmony in all things...

I suggest this article:
ISLAMIC GEOMETRICAL PATTERNS FOR THE
TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS OF SYMMETRY
It is freely accessible at:
http://www.ethnomath.org/resources/abas2001.pdf

the author had already published this: Abas, S. J. and Salman, A. S. (1995) Symmetries of Islamic Geometrical Patterns, World Scientific.

Geometric patterns express harmony and unity which emphaises the message of Islam and as Islam restricts the use of human or animal depcition: geometry was a way almost of express this love for Allah

the geometry role into islamic art is the one of showing a visual text that doesnt refer to the logos as verbal message but materially represent the cosmic presence of divine.
