Description

Explore the depth of Islamic building traditions with this award-winning scholarly work from Edinburgh University Press. Author Robert Hillenbrand provides a detailed survey of the major building types found throughout the Islamic world, offering a clear look at how these structures serve both spiritual and worldly purposes. This book covers essential religious architecture, including the mosque, the minaret, and the madrasa. It also examines the unique role of the mausoleum, often described as being between Heaven and Earth. For those interested in the secular side of history, the text covers the design and use of the caravansarai and the palace. Written in art-historical terms, this volume provides a deep look at how form and function work together in these structures. It is a highly respected resource, having won the American Publishers Association's Award for an outstanding Professional and Scholarly title and the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion 1996 from the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain. This is an essential addition to any library focused on religious buildings and architectural history.
