What you seeA row of slim, round-headed openings in charcoal stands along the foot of a pale oat wall, evenly spaced above a band of putty floor.

What it meansThe arcade, a line of arches on piers, runs round the courtyards of mosques, madrasas and markets across the Islamic world; here it is reduced to its rhythm.

Where it worksFor a hallway or a long wall, where its steady beat reads well from a distance.
