Seller's Description:
New. The scattering of Islamic artistic motifs the world over attests to its historic and on-going influence on and interaction with global cultures. Whilst undoubtedly accelerated by modern inventions and technology, this cultural diffusion is by no means a modern phenomenon; visual cultures have never been moored to a single site, the past is frequently moved into the present. Islamic Architecture on the Move combines established scholarship with modern approaches to architectural studies to challenge and expand concepts of Islamic architecture. Contributors explore the concepts of relocation and translation, and trace the roots/routes of Islamic art and architecture through a variety of models such as textiles, micro-architecture, tent traditions and politicized urban slumming. As well as questioning the identity of artistic traditions, the book also questions: how can architecture ever be on the move? And how does Islamic architecture help expand and reframe broader questions about material, artistic and cultural mobility in the modern world? Spanning centuries and continents, the book s examination of architectural and artistic motifs from 18th century Ottoman tents to a 1960s Hawaiian Shangri-La offers the reader an array of visually stunning images in full colour, communicating the richness of Islamic visual culture which lies at the heart of the book.
