Opis

Unlike previous studies, which follow a chronological record of individual buildings, Hillebrand's prize-winning and comprehensive survey of pre-modern Islamic architecture is organised around building types, with chapters on religious and secular architecture as well as one on the architecture between heaven and earth. This illustrated volume has become a reference guide to Islamic architecture.
