Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La arquitectura islámica ha cautivado siempre por la monumentalidad de sus formas y la riqueza y color de su ornamentación. Ese gran estallido estético no puede entenderse o apreciarse sin analizar sus funciones y significados, es decir, sin conocer la sociedad que construyó esas obras y las necesidades materiales, espirituales o simbólicas a cuya satisfacción estaban destinadas. Siete notables especialistas coordinados por George Michell estudian La arquitectura del mundo islámico en relación con las diversas áreas de la vida social y espiritual: las mezquitas, madrasas y mausoleos, al servicio de una compleja liturgia; los palacios, alcazabas y fortificaciones, expresión arquitectónica del poder; los mercados y caravansares, productos del mundo del comercio y los viajes, y la más humilde arquitectura vernácula, con sus numerosas variantes regionales, como forma de adaptación al medio físico y a la disponibilidad de materiales autóctonos.

Download or read book Art of Islam written by Gaston Migeon and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic art is not the art of a nation or of a people, but that of a religion: Islam. Spreading from the Arabian Peninsula, the proselyte believers conquered, in a few centuries, a territory spreading from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. Multicultural and multi-ethnical, this polymorphic and highly spiritual art, in which all representation of Man and God were prohibited, developed canons and various motives of great decorative value. Thorough and inventive, these artists expressed their beliefs by creating monumental masterpieces such as the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Alhambra in Granada, architectural works in which one recognises the stylisation of motives of the Muslim ceramics. Lively and coloured, Islamic art mirrors the richness of these people whose common denominator was the belief in one singular truth: the absolute necessity of creating works whose beauty equaled their respect for God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most sacred site of Islam, the KaE ba (the granite cuboid structure at the centre of the Great Mosque of Mecca) is here investigated by examining six of its predominantly spatial effects: as the qibla (the direction faced in prayer); as the axis and matrix mundi of the Islamic world; as an architectural principle in the bedrock of this world; as a circumambulated goal of pilgrimage and site of spiritual union for mystics and Sufis; and as a dwelling that is imagined to shelter temporarily an animating force; but which otherwise, as a house, holds a void.

Download or read book El sentido de la unidad written by Nader Ardalan and published by Siruela. This book was released on 2007-05-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El sentido de la unidad, del arquitecto Nader Ardalan y de la experta en mundo islámico y sufismo Laleh Bakhtiar, es el primer estudio sobre la arquitectura del Islam en el contexto persa. A lo largo de la historia musulmana, Persia ha sido uno de los centros capitales del arte y su arquitectura una de las más ricas. Tomando el principio por excelencia medular del legado islámico, la unidad (tawhîd), e intentando comprender cómo la arquitectura de este periodo ha integrado todos sus elementos para conducir a dicha unidad, los autores han llevado a cabo una importante y pionera contribución al estudio del arte y arquitectura tradicionales.Mediante el análisis de estos y otros elementos arquitectónicos tradicionales se penetra en el significado interno de la arquitectura islámica en Persia, y con los capítulos dedicados al espacio, la forma, la superficie, el color o la materia se nos irán desvelando las características propias de la arquitectura persa musulmana.

Download or read book Beauty and Islam written by Valerie Gonzalez and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-08-24 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Beauty and Islam' explores aspects of aesthetics in classical Islamic thought in the light of contemporary theories, offering new perspectives on Islamic art and architecture with examples ranging from the Qur'an and the Alhambra to the works of present day artists and philosophers. Tracing the roots of Islamic aesthetics back to the works of the great philosophers of the Middle Ages such as Avicenna and Averroes, Valerie Gonzalez finds that aesthetic theory in Islam must be seen within the much wider context of parallel thinking on theology, ethics, physics and metaphysics.
