Abstract
Using this author's ongoing project Sacred Spaces of New England and Hans Belting's book Florence and Baghdad: Renaissance Art and Arab Science as starting points, this paper compares and contrasts Islamic visual theory with Western pictorial tradition and examines Islamic pattern design to root this author's 360° panoramic photography's two-dimensional geometric image projections of sacred spaces into an artistic tradition.
