Abstract

This design also starts with the whole façade between the N. and S. buttresses of the eighth-century mosque. Having drawn its central and transverse axes, and its diagonals, only a set square with hypotenuse equal √4, a set square with hypotenuse of √2, and a compass are used to complete the general design. Proportional rectangles are required only for the design of the eaves and windows. The basis of this proportional system is the same as the previous one, although the steps to achieve the design differ. An analysis of the ashlars of the entrance jambs has revealed, for the first time, how deeply the original wall was modified in the ninth century, which is visible on the external façade.
