Mosques Splendors of Islam synopsis

Mosques are among the greatest architectural feats and have deep beauty: their spiritual purpose adds to their language and luster. This stunning size illustrates the evolution of the structural and decorative elements of the main mosque through sixty models, including the most revered, such as the Great Mosque of Cordoba, Spain.

The Imam Mosque of Isfahan, Iran; the Solomon Mosque in Istanbul, as well as innovative new expressions such as the Abu al-Qubeib mosque in Doha. Mosques from Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, North America, North Africa, the Great Sahara, the Middle East, Russia and the Caucasus were introduced from their origins in Makkah and Madinah through the major stylistic transformations of the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires to the present.

The original and archival images show amazing views of the exterior and interior as well as the surrounding gardens and fountains that adorn these magnificent buildings. Articles by prominent architectural and design bodies cover topics such as the iconic and decorative elements of the mosque, including the art of calligraphy and tiles that adorn these important sanctuaries, as well as regional architectural styles.

This important folder is a must for those interested in architecture and design, as well as lovers of Islamic art.
