Islamic Architecture Around the World

[Myth_buster_1]

What defines "islamic" architect? Any building that is a mosque is a "islamic" architect? Some Mosques have designs taken from other cultures while some are totally different like fasil masjid in Islamabad.

Islamic architecture is influenced from Byzantine, Arabic, Persian, etc styles.

Hagan Sophia is built as a Church by Byzantines and occupying turks destroyed Christian interior and turned it into a mosque. Hagan Sophia does not fall into Islamic category.

Now Ala hambra is something every one should be proud about, it is epitome Mathematics and Geometry. Alhambra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
