Islamic architecture have always been ordered repetition, radiating structures, and rhythmic, metric patterns.
In this respect, fractal geometry has been a key utility, especially for mosques and palaces. Other significant features employed as motifs include columns, piers and arches, organized and interwoven with alternating sequences of niches and colonnettes.
The role of domes in Islamic architecture has been considerable.
Its usage spans centuries, first appearing in 691 with the construction of the Dome of the Rock mosque, and recurring even up until the 17th century with the Taj Mahal.
And as late as the 19th century, Islamic domes had been incorporated into Western architecture.

Re-Branding Islamic Architecture
In the last 50 years, architecture in the Islamic World has become both a branding instrument and a visual marker of the cultural shift in Islamic identity. Nasser Rabbat, Aga Khan Professor of Islamic Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, examines the re-emergence of Islamic architecture and the controversy surrounding its definition.

The architecture of Islamic mosques and tombs is an invaluable treasure of world heritage. Many countries have taken inspiration from this tradition. It is well know that the most famous Islamic monument of the world, the Taj Mahal, is in India. What is not equally well known is that the second oldest mosque in the world is also in India, in Kerala. In fact, India has a vast and rich architectural heritage of Islam, from Kerala in the South till Kashmir in the North, from Tripura in the East till Gujarat in the West. This film by noted photographer Benoy Behl showcases how these monuments are a great treasure of India's culture and how many of them are recognized as World Heritage Monuments. The confluence of local talent with inspirations from Iran, Arabia, and Central Asia has also been highlighted in this film. These mosques, tombs, madrassas, palaces and fortresses are a beautiful and unique treasure of the heritage of Islamic architecture.

Harvard University Physics Department Colloquium Lecture, presented on 3 Dec 2007 by Peter J. Lu:
"Quasicrystals in Medieval Islamic Architecture"
The conventional view holds that girih (geometric star-and-polygon) patterns in medieval Islamic architecture were conceived by their designers as a network of zigzagging lines, and drafted directly with a straightedge and a compass. I will describe recent findings that, by 1200 C.E., a conceptual breakthrough occurred in which girih patterns were reconceived as tessellations of a special set of equilateral polygons (girih tiles) decorated with lines. These girih tiles enabled the creation of increasingly complex periodic girih patterns, and by the 15th century, the tessellation approach was combined with self-similar transformations to construct nearly-perfect quasicrystalline patterns. Quasicrystal patterns have remarkable properties: they do not repeat periodically, and have special symmetry---and were not understood in the West until the 1970s. I will discuss some of the properties of Islamic quasicrystalline tilings, and their relation to the Penrose tiling, perhaps the best known quasicrystal pattern.

Imam Mosque - UNESCO World Heritage Site - also known as Shah Mosque and Masjed-e Shah - located in Imam Square - also known as Naghsh-i Jahan Square or Maidan - in Isfahan - The Pearl of Islam - Iran.
This mosque is often confused with Jameh Mosque in Iran due to its similar architecture.
The mosque is a magnificent example of the extravagant architecture that constituted the glory of Isfahan at the time. It was built by the Safavids, a native dynasty, reunited Iran in the early 16th century and reached the highest point in the reign of Shah Abbas I the Great (1587-1629). He moved the capital to Isfahan (ancient Aspadana) (210 miles (340 km) south of Tehran) and in a exceptional illustration of Iranian town planning, reorganized the whole city in a series of interlinked squares according to the grandest plans conceivable. This was not the first time that the Safavids dynasty had moved their capital, they started moving since their original capital (Tabriz) in 1555, till they established as a world power in Isfahan in late 1590's.
The Maidan itself host Ali Qapu Palace (Fourth Building, located in the west side of the Maidan, built in 1590), Lutfallah Mosque (Built after the completion of the Maidan between 1603 & 1619), Imam Mosque (Built between 1611 & 1630), and the bazaar that connected the old city with the new Maidan.
In order to align the mosque with Mecca while maintaining the integrity of the square, the mosque is set at an angle of about 45 degrees to the gateway, the plan was similar to the earlier Mosque of Lutfallah on the east side of the square. The building largely follows Seljuk tradition, conforming to the four-iwan plan, each leading to a domed hall and flanked by double-storey arcades with pointed niches of the Seljuk type. The largest iwan is on the Qibla side and has in fact a massive panel and dome itself set on a large drum. Beyond the iwans east and west of the courtyard are madrasa (religious colleges). Minarets are paired at both the entry portal and the south iwan. The southern dome, a bulbous form supported on a tall drum, is the largest and the only one decorated.
Imam Mosque Interior Designs are varied and fluid, mostly based on stylized floral archetype. The concentration on decorative facades is a departure from Seljuk tradition which was less determined to conceal structure. The visible exteriors of the mosque are largely covered with ceramic tiles, in color predominantly blue or turquoise, cool colors contrasting agreeably with the warm tones of brickwork and landscape round about.
Mosaic tile work produced by incorporating single color tiles into the design and the so called cuerda seca technique where a range of colors is used on individual, generally square shaped tiles. The principle colors used were blue, yellow, turquoise, pink, aborigine and green. These seven colors gave rise to the name haft rang - which literally means "seven colors". Tile work was used to emphasize certain motif, such as the ascending and descending patterns in the dome of the Lutfallah Mosque, and to emphasize intermediary points in the design either by providing a patterned panel or border, or by incorporating calligraphy. 18 million bricks were used in the building and the revetments contain 472,500 tiles.

Islamic architecture encompasses a wide range of both secular and religious styles from the foundation of Islam to the present day, influencing the design and construction of buildings and structures in Islamic culture. The principal Islamic architectural types are: the Mosque, the Tomb, the Palace and the Fort. From these four types, the vocabulary of Islamic architecture is derived and used for buildings of lesser importance such as public baths, fountains and domestic architecture.
Specifically recognizable Islamic architectural style emerged soon after Muhammad's time, inspired by Islam with addition of localized adaptations of the former Sassanid and Byzantine models, the Germanic Visigoths in Spain also made a big contribution to Islamic architecture. They invented the Horseshoe arch in Spain and used them as one of their main architectural features, After the moorish invasion of Spain in 711 AD the form was taken by the Ummayyads who accentuated the curvature of the horseshoe. The Dome of the Rock (Qubbat al-Sakhrah) in Jerusalem (691) is one of the most important buildings in all of Islamic architecture, marked by a strong Byzantine influence (mosaic against a gold background, and a central plan that resembles that of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, although the church itself was renovated several times in the Islamic period), but already bearing purely Islamic elements, such as the great epigraphic frieze. It featured interior vaulted spaces, a circular dome, and the use of stylized repeating decorative arabesque patterns. The desert palaces in Jordan and Syria (for example, Mshatta, Qasr Amra, and Khirbat al-Mafjar) served the caliphs as living quarters, reception halls, and baths, and were decorated to promote an image of royal luxury.

Ancient Islamic Architecture

A World of Beauty and Grace: Islamic Architecture of India
The architecture of Islamic mosques and tombs is an invaluable treasure of world heritage. Many countries have taken inspiration from this tradition. It is well know that the most famous Islamic monument of the world, the Taj Mahal, is in India. What is not equally well known is that the second oldest mosque in the world is also in India, in Kerala. In fact, India has a vast and rich architectural heritage of Islam, from Kerala in the South till Kashmir in the North, from Tripura in the East till Gujarat in the West. This film by noted photographer Benoy Behl showcases how these monuments are a great treasure of India's culture and how many of them are recognized as World Heritage Monuments. The confluence of local talent with inspirations from Iran, Arabia, and Central Asia has also been ... -
Quasicrystals in Medieval Islamic Architecture, Harvard Physics Colloquium Lecture
Harvard University Physics Department Colloquium Lecture, presented on 3 Dec 2007 by Peter J. Lu: "Quasicrystals in Medieval Islamic Architecture" The conventional view holds that girih (geometric star-and-polygon) patterns in medieval Islamic architecture were conceived by their designers as a network of zigzagging lines, and drafted directly with a straightedge and a compass. I will describe recent findings that, by 1200 C.E., a conceptual breakthrough occurred in which girih patterns were reconceived as tessellations of a special set of equilateral polygons (girih tiles) decorated with lines. These girih tiles enabled the creation of increasingly complex periodic girih patterns, and by the 15th century, the tessellation approach was combined with self-similar transformations to constru... -

Islamic Architecture Imam Mosque Isfahan Iran
Imam Mosque - UNESCO World Heritage Site - also known as Shah Mosque and Masjed-e Shah - located in Imam Square - also known as Naghsh-i Jahan Square or Maidan - in Isfahan - The Pearl of Islam - Iran. This mosque is often confused with Jameh Mosque in Iran due to its similar architecture. The mosque is a magnificent example of the extravagant architecture that constituted the glory of Isfahan at the time. It was built by the Safavids, a native dynasty, reunited Iran in the early 16th century and reached the highest point in the reign of Shah Abbas I the Great (1587-1629). He moved the capital to Isfahan (ancient Aspadana) (210 miles (340 km) south of Tehran) and in a exceptional illustration of Iranian town planning, reorganized the whole city in a series of interlinked squares acco...

The architecture of Islamic mosques and tombs is an invaluable treasure of world heritage. Many countries have taken inspiration from this tradition. It is well know that the most famous Islamic monument of the world, the Taj Mahal, is in India. What is not equally well known is that the second oldest mosque in the world is also in India, in Kerala. In fact, India has a vast and rich architectural heritage of Islam, from Kerala in the South till Kashmir in the North, from Tripura in the East till Gujarat in the West. This film by noted photographer Benoy Behl showcases how these monuments are a great treasure of India's culture and how many of them are recognized as World Heritage Monuments. The confluence of local talent with inspirations from Iran, Arabia, and Central Asia has also been highlighted in this film. These mosques, tombs, madrassas, palaces and fortresses are a beautiful and unique treasure of the heritage of Islamic architecture.

Harvard University Physics Department Colloquium Lecture, presented on 3 Dec 2007 by Peter J. Lu:
"Quasicrystals in Medieval Islamic Architecture"
The conventional view holds that girih (geometric star-and-polygon) patterns in medieval Islamic architecture were conceived by their designers as a network of zigzagging lines, and drafted directly with a straightedge and a compass. I will describe recent findings that, by 1200 C.E., a conceptual breakthrough occurred in which girih patterns were reconceived as tessellations of a special set of equilateral polygons (girih tiles) decorated with lines. These girih tiles enabled the creation of increasingly complex periodic girih patterns, and by the 15th century, the tessellation approach was combined with self-similar transformations to construct nearly-perfect quasicrystalline patterns. Quasicrystal patterns have remarkable properties: they do not repeat periodically, and have special symmetry---and were not understood in the West until the 1970s. I will discuss some of the properties of Islamic quasicrystalline tilings, and their relation to the Penrose tiling, perhaps the best known quasicrystal pattern.

Imam Mosque - UNESCO World Heritage Site - also known as Shah Mosque and Masjed-e Shah - located in Imam Square - also known as Naghsh-i Jahan Square or Maidan - in Isfahan - The Pearl of Islam - Iran.
This mosque is often confused with Jameh Mosque in Iran due to its similar architecture.
The mosque is a magnificent example of the extravagant architecture that constituted the glory of Isfahan at the time. It was built by the Safavids, a native dynasty, reunited Iran in the early 16th century and reached the highest point in the reign of Shah Abbas I the Great (1587-1629). He moved the capital to Isfahan (ancient Aspadana) (210 miles (340 km) south of Tehran) and in a exceptional illustration of Iranian town planning, reorganized the whole city in a series of interlinked squares according to the grandest plans conceivable. This was not the first time that the Safavids dynasty had moved their capital, they started moving since their original capital (Tabriz) in 1555, till they established as a world power in Isfahan in late 1590's.
The Maidan itself host Ali Qapu Palace (Fourth Building, located in the west side of the Maidan, built in 1590), Lutfallah Mosque (Built after the completion of the Maidan between 1603 & 1619), Imam Mosque (Built between 1611 & 1630), and the bazaar that connected the old city with the new Maidan.
In order to align the mosque with Mecca while maintaining the integrity of the square, the mosque is set at an angle of about 45 degrees to the gateway, the plan was similar to the earlier Mosque of Lutfallah on the east side of the square. The building largely follows Seljuk tradition, conforming to the four-iwan plan, each leading to a domed hall and flanked by double-storey arcades with pointed niches of the Seljuk type. The largest iwan is on the Qibla side and has in fact a massive panel and dome itself set on a large drum. Beyond the iwans east and west of the courtyard are madrasa (religious colleges). Minarets are paired at both the entry portal and the south iwan. The southern dome, a bulbous form supported on a tall drum, is the largest and the only one decorated.
Imam Mosque Interior Designs are varied and fluid, mostly based on stylized floral archetype. The concentration on decorative facades is a departure from Seljuk tradition which was less determined to conceal structure. The visible exteriors of the mosque are largely covered with ceramic tiles, in color predominantly blue or turquoise, cool colors contrasting agreeably with the warm tones of brickwork and landscape round about.
Mosaic tile work produced by incorporating single color tiles into the design and the so called cuerda seca technique where a range of colors is used on individual, generally square shaped tiles. The principle colors used were blue, yellow, turquoise, pink, aborigine and green. These seven colors gave rise to the name haft rang - which literally means "seven colors". Tile work was used to emphasize certain motif, such as the ascending and descending patterns in the dome of the Lutfallah Mosque, and to emphasize intermediary points in the design either by providing a patterned panel or border, or by incorporating calligraphy. 18 million bricks were used in the building and the revetments contain 472,500 tiles.
