Description

The most comprehensive and authoritative book on mosque architecture and design published in the last decade. While there are a number of important earlier works on mosques such as The Mosque (1994), there is now a need for a beautifully produced volume given people's interest in this important subject. With more than 300 photographs, this is a visually stunning volume profiling historically important examples as well as impressive new mosque designs that are not as widely known.
