historical architecture of Uzbekistan
In his Mathew Passion Bach takes you along in an engaging voyage for 3 hours long, forgetting about everything else. At the same time each chord of the long score is well considered. As well lightning, the clothes of the actors etc. in each scene of an immersive movie are specified. This is also the case in Islamic architecture. Uzbek historical cities Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand are architectural treasuries. You can look at it or write about it in different ways.
In this GeoGebrabook I focus on buildings with a loupe. Starting with pictures I took on a recent trip I try to show the geometry of the decorative patterns. I look at the muqarnas in vaults and at the calligraphic writings on the walls. In short, I look at the script , the light ans the music score of a movie on a fascinating story
Enjoy!
Before I already published some GG work on islamic architecture. You can find more background on geometric patterns at https://www.geogebra.org/m/kxp4qekc and on muqarnas at https://www.geogebra.org/m/n7ps6rtv.
Don't forget to take a look at the very informative website https://orientalarchitecture.com. The website http://www.kufic.info/architecture/architecture.htm learned me a lot on Kufic writing. The article of Mamoun Sakkal (2018) Intersecting squares: applied geometry in the architecture of Timurid Samarkand, Journal of Mathematics and the Arts https://doi.org/10.1080/17513472.2018.1468178 guided me through the Bibi Khanum mosque in Samarkand, at https://www.archnet.org/publications/13238 I found a ppt giving explanations of the inscriptions on buildings during the Timurid period and while analyzing complex geometric patterns Goossen Karssenberg was always willing to assist with all his experience. Apart of all this there's a lot of academic published work, as 'The Bukharan school of architecture in the 15th-17th century' by Mavlyuda Abbasova-Yusupova https://www.unesco-iicas.org/book/152 and much more.
