Surface decoration has always played a fundamental role in Islamic
architecture. As human representation is forbidden in Islamic religious
monuments, designers employed mosaics, stucco, brickwork and ceramics,
and the vigorous use of brilliant colour to reach unparalleled heights
of expression. It is this ornamental dimension of Islamic architecture
that is explored in this magnificent volume. Rather than limiting itself
to an exclusively historical or chronological perspective, Ornament and
Decoration in Islamic Architecture presents four successive approaches
to its subject. The first part offers an overview of Islamic
architecture, discussing the great diversity it contains. Dealing
exclusively with techniques, the second part considers the materials
most often used as well as the expertise of the builders and Muslim
decorative artists, and the third part explores themes in Islamic
ornamentation. Section four discusses aesthetics, and studies the
relationship between the buildings - the structures or their
architectonic components - and their ornamental coverings. Each of these
topics is presented through a number of outstanding examples and then
through comparable monuments from all over the Islamic world. For anyone
in thrall to such great wonders as the Taj Mahal and the Alhambra, and
for everyone interested in the world of Islam, this lavish publication
will be indispensable.
