What you seeA tall arched doorway in a dim wall opens onto bright light, which spills a long arch-shaped patch across the floor. A magenta band runs along the top of the wall and a violet plane stands beside the opening.

What it meansThe pointed arch, carried from early Islamic architecture into buildings across three continents, frames the passage from shade to light.

Where it worksSpacious and calm, for a hallway, a dining room or a long wall.
