ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE week 9

SULTAN HASSAN MOSQUE The Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is a massive Mamluk era mosque and madrassa located near the Citadel in Cairo. Its construction began 757 AH/1356 CE with work ending three years later "without even a single day of idleness".[1] At the time of construction the mosque was considered remarkable for its fantastic size and innovative architectural components. Commissioned by a sultan of a short and relatively unimpressive profile, al-Maqrizi noted that within the mosque were several "wonders of construction".[1] The mosque was, for example, designed to include schools for all four of the Sunni schools of thought: Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali.

THE TAJ MAHAL At the heart of the Taj Mahal lies the cenotaphs, the very reason why this monument was built - to make a tomb for Shah Jahan's wife Mumtaz Mahal.. Shah Jahan's cenotaph lies next to his wife, and that is the only visible asymmetry in the entire Taj complex. Mumtaz's tomb is exactly at the centre, the other being placed as an after thought

The Taj Mahal consists of seven floors with its base or plinth at the level of the riverbed. The courtyard level through which the modern day visitor enters is actually the fourth level. The second and third floors can be clearly seen from the image below. This is the riverside view of the Taj Mahal. The door on the left side of the image opens up to the river bed. It is said that there is a corridor near the cenotaphs which leads to a staircase. The stairs go down to another hidden level. It is said that the actual grave of the empress was buried here.

THE GREAT MOSQUE OF CORDOVA, ANDALUSIA, SPAIN The building is most notable for its arcaded hypostyle hall, with 856 columns of jasper, onyx, marble, and granite.

The double arches were a new introduction to architecture, permitting higher ceilings than would otherwise be possible with relatively low columns. The double arches consist of a lower horseshoe arch and an upper semi- circular arch. The famous alternating red and white voussoirs of the arches were inspired by those in the Dome of the Rock.
