The papers in this volume deal with the design of many types of
buildings in Islamic countries and the influence that these
structural forms have had in non-Islamic countries. Coverage will
also include construction materials.There is much to learn from
past experiences to arrive at solutions that are environmentally
sound and sustainable in the long term. As conventional energy
resources become scarce, the Islamic design heritage can offer
invaluable lessons on how to deal with difficult and extreme
environments in an efficient manner. Traditional architecture and
urban environment in most Islamic countries is now being eroded by
overemphasis on global type of architecture and city planning.
Consequently, many regions are losing their identity. The papers
review these developments in the light of what the classical
Islamic urban designs and architectures have to offer modern
society.The papers in this book cover such topics as: Architectural
conservation; Architectural heritage; Architecture in Malaysia and
Indonesia; Climate adaptability; Conservation and restoration;
Historical aspects; Houses and gardens; Islamic art and
globalisation; Mosques and minarets; Ottoman Istanbul; Schools; The
African Coast; The Islamic urban environment; The Mediterranean
region; The use of light; Vernacular architecture; Wood and wooden
roofs. The contents will be of interest to all researchers,
practitioners and government employees actively involved with
Islamic Heritage Architecture.
