Join the Muqarnas Activity at Bridges 2025 - A Hands-On Building Adventure!
📅 Family Day - 17 July 2025
Step into the fascinating world of muqarnas, masterpieces of architectural ornamentation.
In Islamic countries they are everywhere: in mosque portal hoods, beneath minaret balconies, or in the corners of prayer halls.
With their variety of materials, designs, and interplay of light and shadow, these decorations have been enchanting visitors for nearly a millennium.
During Bridges Family Day, you are invited to take part in a hands-on DIY activity where you can explore, design, and create your own muqarnas using 3D-printed, Lego-like building pieces.
Whether you want to follow one of our sample designs or invent something totally unique, there's something for everyone - designers, art lovers, students, teachers, and curious minds alike.
We've got plenty of building sets to use on the spot.
The starter kit has 14 different shapes and is perfect for getting started - most people can complete a mini muqarnas in about 10 minutes. Feeling ambitious? Try the extension set with over 30 unique pieces for a real challenge (perfect for those who attend the lecture!).
Please note: The workshop materials aren't for sale, but no worries! You can download the 3D-printable files and print your own set at home or school.
