An Introduction to the Art and Architecture in the Islamic World
COURSE
Course description
This course will examine the development of Muslim religious and social practices that gave rise to a tradition of “Islamic” art and architecture. We will look at the requirements for educational and complexes of charitable foundations such as hospitals and soup kitchens, and the evolution of places for religious assembly, including mosques. Our focus will also include the ways in which Islam integrated into local traditions and styles of art and architecture, often making use of local craftspeople and design traditions, or re-using pre-Islamic spaces and monuments. Many beautiful images from around the Muslim world, from Canada, to China will be featured and there will be time each meeting for questions and discussion.
