Islamic Architecture by Ihsan Shanti
Dr. Shanti is fascinated by the Islamic architecture because it encompasses
a wide range of both secular and religious styles from the foundation of
Islam to the present day. This influences greatly the design and
construction of buildings and structures in Islamic culture.
A specifically recognizable Islamic architectural
A specifically recognizable Islamic architectural
style emerged soon after prophet Mohamed time, developing
from local adaptations of Egyptian, Byzantine, and Persian
models. Geometric artwork in the form of the Arabesques was
not widely used in the Middle East or Mediterranean Basin
until the golden age of Islam came into full bloom. During
this time, ancient texts on Greek and Hellenistic
mathematics as well as Indian mathematics were translated
into Arabic at the house of wisdom, an academic research
institution in Baghdad. Like the later European Renaissance
that followed, mathematics, science, literature and history
were infused into the Muslim world with great, mostly
positive repercussions.
