    Domes

    Domes are iconic architectural features in Islamic buildings, particularly mosques. They
    symbolize the heavens and serve both functional and decorative purposes. These domes
    come in various shapes and are known for their precise geometric designs, intricate
    materials like tile and stone, and their ability to create open, column-free interior
    spaces. They have regional variations, historical significance, and continue to be used
    in contemporary mosque architecture, maintaining a link to Islamic tradition.

    Arches

    Arches are distinctive architectural elements in


    Islamic buildings, known for their decorative designs and structural significance. They
    come in various styles, such as horseshoe and pointed arches, and often feature
    intricate geometric patterns. These arches provide both functional support and
    aesthetic beauty, with regional variations reflecting different historical and cultural
    influences. They continue to be used in
    contemporary Islamic architecture, connecting
    modern designs to their rich historical legacy.

    Muqarnas

    Muqarnas is a distinctive geometric ornamentation


    in Islamic architecture. It resembles interlocking
    honeycomb or stalactite patterns and is used to enhance aesthetics and distribute
    structural loads in buildings. Muqarnas reflects the artistry of Islamic design and
    varies by region and time period, leaving a lasting influence on architecture
    worldwide.

    Minarets

    Islamic minarets are tall towers typically found adjacent to mosques. They serve as visual symbols of
    Islamic identity and are used to call worshippers to prayer. Minarets vary in design and height, reflecting
    regional architectural styles and cultural influences within the Islamic world.

    Mihrab

    A mihrab is a niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the qibla, the direction of
    Mecca, which Muslims face during prayers. It's a significant element in Islamic
    architecture, often elaborately decorated with calligraphy and geometric designs,
    serving as a focal point for worshippers.

    Arabesque Art

    Arabesque art is a form of Islamic ornamentation characterized by


    intricate, flowing, and repetitive geometric and floral patterns. It is a hallmark of Islamic visual
    culture, appearing in architecture, textiles, ceramics, and manuscripts. Arabesque art serves
    both decorative and spiritual purposes, reflecting Islamic ideals of unity and infinity through
    its complex, interwoven designs.
    Hypostyle Hall

    An Islamic hypostyle hall is a large, column-filled space in mosques, characterized


    by rows of columns supporting a flat roof. These halls are essential for accommodating
    large congregations during prayer and exemplify Islamic architecture's focus on
    creating expansive, unobstructed interior spaces for worship.

    Courtyards

    Islamic courtyards are central open spaces in Islamic architecture, often found in
    mosques and other buildings. They serve as areas for congregation, relaxation,
    and reflection, offering a
    sense of tranquillity amidst the surrounding architecture.
    These courtyards are typically adorned with gardens, fountains,
    and intricate tile work, reflecting the aesthetics of Islamic art.
    They play a vital role in creating a harmonious and
    contemplative atmosphere in Islamic structures.

    Garden

    Islamic gardens are lush, symmetrical green spaces cultivated


    with meticulous attention to design and symbolism. They are integral to Islamic architecture, embodying concepts of
    paradise and tranquillity. These gardens often feature flowing water, fragrant flowers, geometric layouts, and provide
    serene retreats for reflection and relaxation.

    Iwan

    An Islamic Iwan is a vaulted niche with a semi-circular or pointed arch, often


    found in mosque facades or as an entryway. It serves as an architectural and
    decorative element in Islamic architecture, creating a sense of grandeur
    and framing important spaces for religious and ceremonial purposes.
