Reframing the Alhambra - Architecture, Poetry, Textiles and Court Ceremonial (Paperback)

The Nasrid builders of the Alhambra - the best-preserved medieval
Muslim palatial city - were so exacting that some of their work
could not be fully explained until the invention of fractal
geometry. Their design principles have been obscured, however, by
the loss of all archival material. This book resolves that impasse
by investigating the neglected, interdisciplinary contexts of
medieval poetics and optics and through comparative study of
Islamic court ceremonials. This reframing enables the
reconstruction of the underlying, integrated aesthetic, focusing on
the harmonious interrelationship between diverse artistic media
--architecture, poetry and textiles -- in the experience of the
beholder, resulting in a new understanding of the Alhambra.
