From Spain to China, Islamic architecture and calligraphy are inexorably intertwined. Mosques, dervish lodges, mausolea, libraries, even baths and marketplaces bear masterpieces of calligraphy that rival the most refined books and scrolls. This major reference work focuses on architectural inscriptions throughout the Muslim world, some going back to the Middle Ages, others dating from our own lifetime. What were the purposes of these inscriptions? How do they infuse buildings with culturally specific meanings, sacred or profane? What do they add to architectural design? What sorts of materials were used, and how do they interact with light and space? Who were their patrons, and what do we know about the artists who produced them? You can find out with this exciting new collection written by a stellar cast of international contributors. It features 28 case studies explain different aspects and contexts of calligraphy in Islamic architecture. It is geographically wide-ranging - covers North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, China and Spain. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to analysing calligraphy as part of its larger spatial-architectural context. It is lavishly illustrated with 400 colour images." 606 $aIslamic calligraphy 606 $aArchitectural inscriptions 606 $aDecoration and ornament, Architectural 606 $aIslamic architecture 606 $aIslamic decoration and ornament 615 0$aIslamic calligraphy. 615 0$aArchitectural inscriptions. 615 0$aDecoration and ornament, Architectural. 615 0$aIslamic architecture. 615 0$aIslamic decoration and ornament. 676 $a745.619927 700 $aGharipour$b Mohammad, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0925266 702 $aGharipour$b Mohammad 702 $aSchick$b I?rvin Cemil 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822513103321 996 $aCalligraphy and architecture in the Muslim world$94086265 997 $aUNINA
