Sessional Lecturer - NMC277H1F - Early Islamic Architecture and Related Arts

Description: Early Islamic architecture and art emerged from a variety of sources, including Roman-Byzantine styles in Greater Syria (Al-Sham) and the Sassanian architecture and art of pre-Islamic Persia. During its formative phase, Islamic architecture and art were not limited to a single religion, period, place, or medium. Instead, they spanned multiple regions and encompassed a broad range of artistic fields, including architecture, mosaics, stucco, frescoes, ceramics, and woodwork, among others, each carrying significant spiritual, artistic, and practical meaning.
